EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Spatially localized optical excitations in a doped solid using robust broadband composite pulses

Niels Joseph, Nikolay V. Vitanov, and Thomas Halfmann

Phys. Rev. A 113, 023117 (2026) - Published 23 February, 2026

The authors experimentally demonstrate strong spatial confinement of optical excitations by broadband composite pulse sequences in a rare-earth-ion–doped crystal, which provides significant improvements in localization and robustness against disorder compared to previous experiments.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Vortex comb: Eliminating vortices from Bose-Einstein condensates using optical lattices

Shrohan Mohapatra, Andrew J. Schaffer, P. G. Kevrekidis, R. Carretero-González, and B. P. Anderson

Phys. Rev. A 113, 023305 (2026) - Published 4 February, 2026

The authors report on a combing technique to remove vortices from a quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate through the application and subsequent removal of a one-dimensional optical lattice. The study includes experimental results on a rubidium BEC and numerical simulations based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Persistent subradiant correlations in a disordered ensemble of collectively driven quantum emitters

Nikita Leppenen and Alexander N. Poddubny

Phys. Rev. A 113, 023709 (2026) - Published 12 February, 2026

The authors explore a strongly driven disordered ensemble of emitters coupled to a single photonic mode. They find that long-lived subradiant correlations persist even in the presence of inhomogeneous broadening, which generally destroys correlations.

LETTER

Spatiotemporal entanglement of the vacuum

Pravin Kumar Dahal and Kieran Hymas

Phys. Rev. A 113, L020201 (2026) - Published 9 February, 2026

The authors study how the quantum vacuum links different regions of spacetime through entanglement, thereby finding a surprising asymmetry: past–right (future–left) pairing share full, wedge-wide entanglement, while past–left (future–right) pairing show only limited mode-to-mode correlations. Entanglement of the quantum vacuum in these sectors can be harvested and transferred to spatially separated detectors facilitating vacuum-assisted quantum teleportation.

LETTER

Normal-mode-splitting-induced synchronization blockade in coupled quantum van der Pol oscillators

Nissi Thomas and M. Senthilvelan

Phys. Rev. A 113, L020202 (2026) - Published 25 February, 2026

The authors discuss a synchronization blockade in a coupled quantum van der Pol oscillator under the influence of an external drive induced by normal mode splitting. They show that the blockade can be controlled by tuning the coupling strength, enabling control of quantum synchronization through collective mode dynamics.

LETTER

Towards gravimetry enhancement with squeezed states

Oziel R. de Araujo, Lucas S. Marinho, Jonas F. G. Santos, and Carlos H. S. Vieira

Phys. Rev. A 113, L020401 (2026) - Published 25 February, 2026

This Letter investigates quantum gravimetry with squeezed probe states, emphasizing how the orientation of squeezing in phase space affects estimation precision. The analysis clarifies the conditions under which correlated probes and appropriate measurement choices improve sensitivity across different interaction times.

Comprehensive assessment of ${Th}^{3 +}$ properties for nuclear clock and fundamental physics applications

A. Chakraborty and B. K. Sahoo

Phys. Rev. A 113, L020801 (2026) - Published 17 February, 2026

The authors utilize relativistic coupled-cluster theory to accurately determine the isotope shifts, differential nuclear charge radii, electric dipole polarizabilities, and quadrupole moments of Th $^{3 +}$ . Additionally, the study comprehensively characterizes the nuclear moments for both the ground and isomeric states of $^{229}$ Th, delivering high-precision data essential for assessing systematic uncertainties in upcoming nuclear clock applications.

LETTER

General approximator for strong-field ionization rates

Manoram Agarwal, Armin Scrinzi, and Vladislav S. Yakovlev

Phys. Rev. A 113, L021101 (2026) - Published 20 February, 2026

Sub-optical-cycle dynamics of strong-field ionization can be accurately retrieved from ionization probabilities obtained for a set of few-cycle laser pulses. A general model with a few adjustable parameters reconciles analytical and ab initio approaches.

Ultracold systems and matter waves

LETTER

Resonant light scattering by a slab of ultracold atoms

R. Vatré, R. Lopes, J. Beugnon, and F. Gerbier

Phys. Rev. A 113, L021301 (2026) - Published 2 February, 2026

The authors introduce an interferometric technique that measures the phase shift imprinted on a near-resonant laser beam transmitted through a thin slab of ytterbium atoms. This approach provides a sensitive and unambiguous probe of light-matter interactions in quantitative agreement with theoretical predictions, resolving a previously reported experimental discrepancy.

LETTER

Universal analytic solution for the quantum transport of structured matter waves in magnetic optics

N. V. Filina and S. S. Baturin

Phys. Rev. A 113, L021302 (2026) - Published 10 February, 2026

The authors develop an exact analytic framework for the propagation of structured charged matter waves in nonuniform magnetic fields, linking their quantum evolution directly to classical magnetic-optics parameters.

Broadband quantum terahertz wave generation in laser-induced plasmas

Yi-Ben Wang, Zhuang-Wei Ding, Marcelo F. Ciappina, and Xue-Bin Bian

Phys. Rev. A 113, L021501 (2026) - Published 10 February, 2026

A scheme for the generation of broadband quantum terahertz waves is presented. The inherent quantum characteristics of these waves are envisioned to unlock possibilities for harnessing THz pulses in fields such as sensing, imaging, and communication technologies.

LETTER

Unveiling the self-orthogonality at exceptional points in driven $PT$ -symmetric systems

Alexander Fritzsche, Riccardo Sorbello, Ronny Thomale, and Alexander Szameit

Phys. Rev. A 113, L021701 (2026) - Published 24 February, 2026

The authors study Rabi oscillations in a non-Hermitian, periodically driven lattice and show how the self-orthogonality of the eigenstates results in a divergence of the Rabi frequency. Using its PT-symmetric nature, they propose the total power of the system as a global observable, thus offering a framework for the detection of self-orthogonality.
