- Publisher Correction: Lifetime of the singly charged <sup>229</sup>Th nuclear isomer
- Observation of propagating collective spin–valley modes in twisted WSe<sub>2</sub>Nature Physics, Published online: 07 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03280-w Transport of charges has been widely studied in two-dimensional moiré materials. However, charge-neutral collective excitations are difficult to access, especially when they are decoupled from charged quasiparticles. Now they are observed in a moiré homobilayer.
- Amplitude fluctuations reshape the lattice chiral response in a ferroaxial electronic crystalNature Physics, Published online: 06 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03253-z Helicity-resolved Raman spectroscopy reveals dynamical coupling between charge-density-wave amplitude fluctuations and symmetry-distinct phonons in a ferroaxial van der Waals crystal. This resonant dressing amplifies the material’s planar chiral lattice response through the underlying electronic order.
- Squeezed, trisqueezed and quadsqueezed states via spin–oscillator couplingNature Physics, Published online: 05 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03224-4 A method applied to a single trapped ion combines two linear spin-dependent interactions to generate nonlinear couplings in the ion’s motion: squeezing, trisqueezing and quadsqueezing interactions are demonstrated. The approach can be applied to any spin–oscillator system, produces stronger unitary interactions with the flexibility to switch quickly between orders, and scales seamlessly to higher orders and multiple oscillators.
- Quantum random access memory put to the testNature Physics, Published online: 05 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03273-9 Specialized quantum memories will be required to achieve quantum speedups for data-intensive problems. Now, a proof-of-principle demonstration of such a quantum memory has been performed with a superconducting processor.
- Resonant chiral dressing by amplitude fluctuations in a ferroaxial electronic crystalNature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03241-3 Symmetry rules usually prevent interactions between distinct vibrational modes. Now it is shown that charge order fluctuations can mix modes, enhancing the chiral lattice response in a ferroaxial electronic crystal.
- Squeezing, trisqueezing and quadsqueezing in a hybrid oscillator–spin systemNature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03222-6 Higher-order interactions in quantum harmonic oscillator systems can result in useful effects, but they are hard to engineer. An experiment on a single trapped ion now demonstrates how spin can mediate higher-order nonlinear bosonic interactions.
- Coherence of a hole-spin flopping-mode qubit in a circuit quantum electrodynamics environmentNature Physics, Published online: 01 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03262-y Coupling semiconductor qubit devices to microwave resonators provides a way to transfer quantum information over long distances. A flopping-mode qubit that combines strong coupling to photons with good coherence properties has now been demonstrated.
