RSS Nature Physics
Nature Physics offers news and reviews alongside top-quality research papers in a monthly publication, covering the entire spectrum of physics. Physics addresses the properties and interactions of matter and energy, and plays a key role in the development of a broad range of technologies. To reflect this, Nature Physics covers all areas of pure and applied physics research. The journal focuses on core physics disciplines, but is also open to a broad range of topics whose central theme falls within the bounds of physics.

- Efficient thermalization and universal quantum computing with quantum Gibbs samplersNature Physics, Published online: 15 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03246-y Quantum simulation of equilibrium many-body systems requires the ability to sample from the thermal distribution of quantum states. An algorithm has now been proven to be an appropriate quantum analogue to classical Monte Carlo methods.
- Intrinsic phononic dressed states in a nanomechanical systemNature Physics, Published online: 14 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03225-3 Exploiting the differences between quantum and classical physics typically requires nonlinear devices. Quantum nonlinear effects have now been demonstrated in a nanomechanical resonator due to strong coupling with an intrinsic two-level defect.
