- Entanglement meets artificial intelligence in quantum sensorsNature Physics, Published online: 19 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02868-y The high precision of atomic sensors can be further enhanced by quantum correlations between atoms prepared in an entangled state through the use of artificial intelligence.
- Robust supermoiré pattern in large-angle single-twist bilayersNature Physics, Published online: 16 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02914-9 Moiré patterns and flat bands usually occur in multilayer materials with a small interlayer twist angle, but this can cause detrimental lattice reconstruction. Now, flat bands are shown in a bilayer with large twist angle and structural rigidity.
