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.

- A bucket-brigade quantum random access memoryNature Physics, Published online: 16 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03218-2 Random access memory has multiple data registers and uses addresses to specify which register should be read or modified. Now a quantum random access memory has been demonstrated that uses quantum addresses to return data in superposition.
- When excitons lose their massNature Physics, Published online: 16 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03214-6 Excitons are commonly regarded as massive composite quasiparticles. Now, experiments show that, in two-dimensional materials, light–matter interactions can turn excitons into massless collective modes with linear, photon-like dispersions.
- Asymptotic quantification of entanglement with a single copyNature Physics, Published online: 13 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03182-x Quantum information theory typically considers the asymptotic limit of having access to many copies of quantum states, which can be challenging to analyse. Now an asymptotic measure of entanglement that only needs a single copy of a quantum state has been found
- Entanglement quantification made simpler through hypothesis testingNature Physics, Published online: 13 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03186-7 Understanding how to optimally detect and extract quantum entanglement typically involves intractable formulae that require optimization over many copies of quantum states. A shift of perspective leads to a much simpler formula based on the quantum relative entropy of a single quantum state, made possible by a new result in quantum state discrimination.
- Universal dynamics and microwave control of programmable resonant electro-optic frequency combsNature Physics, Published online: 12 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03198-3 The physics of resonant electro-optic microcomb generation is underexplored, limiting their potential applications. Now several technological advances are realized by studying the state space of a thin-film lithium niobate photonic frequency comb.
- One- and two-dimensional cluster states for topological phase simulation and measurement-based quantum computationNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03179-6 Measurement-based quantum computing implements quantum algorithms by performing sequences of measurements on special classes of entangled states, such as cluster states. This approach has now been demonstrated on a superconducting quantum processor.
- Magnetic field-induced momentum-dependent symmetry breaking in a kagome superconductorNature Physics, Published online: 11 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03205-7 Disentangling intertwined orders in quantum materials is challenging. Now, photoemission spectroscopy experiments show that magnetic fields can be used to disentangle such orders in a kagome superconductor.
- When percolation triggers fatigueNature Physics, Published online: 10 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03210-w Everyday objects often fail from repeated stress. A study shows that fatigue failure in glasses is governed by damage percolation and predictable from early-cycle energy dissipation.
