A laser excites a low energy isomeric state in a nucleus of thorium-229 embedded in a crystal of calcium fluoride. Selected for a Viewpoint in Physics and an Editors’ Suggestion.
J. Tiedau et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 182501 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
A universal, one-parameter scaling theory is developed that describes transport behavior from the ballistic to the diffusive regime in multimode nonlinear photonic circuits.
Arkady Kurnosov et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 193802 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Tensor network methods and reinforcement learning are combined to solve dynamical optimization tasks relevant to both nonequilibrium physics and machine learning.
Edward Gillman, Dominic C. Rose, and Juan P. Garrahan
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 197301 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
If classical systems were to coexist with “anticlassical” systems (coined here) then an observer with access to both systems could measure Bell nonlocality and other nonclassical features.
Giulio Chiribella, Lorenzo Giannelli, and Carlo Maria Scandolo
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 190201 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
A universal and fully experimental algorithm allows for extraction of orbital angular momentum from 2D quantum materials.
Jonas Erhardt et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 196401 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Bounds on fluctuations for nonequilibrium conditions provide performance limitations of heat engines at the nanoscale.
Ludovico Tesser and Janine Splettstoesser
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 186304 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
The Drude peak displacements in the optical conductivity of strange metals are a consequence of a strong electron-phonon interaction.
Joonas Keski-Rahkonen et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 186303 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
A reexamination of the X(2370) state using high-precision decay data uncovers its quantum number as , which is consistent with it being a pseudoscalar glueball candidate.
M. Ablikim et al. (BESIII Collaboration)
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 181901 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Dual-rail erasure qubits are characterized in a superconducting cavity architecture that allows for an improved error correction.
Akshay Koottandavida et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 180601 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
To describe the electron beam attenuation lengths in solids, in addition to a single-exponential law, momentum relaxation must also be taken into account.
