Human activities threaten coral survival. A better understanding of the coral behaviors in response to environmental changes may lead to a rescue plan but remains challenging. The authors demonstrate quantitative features of coral motion—a key trait of coral polyps—through real-time microscopy on a fluidic platform, and discover the correlated fractional Brownian motion of coral polyps under different light and temperature conditions. Numerical analysis and theoretical modeling are performed to interpret the observed coral dynamics. This work provides systematic techniques to study coral polyp motions and advances our knowledge of their behavior under climate change.

In advancing beyond the von Neumann architecture, nanomagnetic logic offers an attractive approach to in-memory computation by exploiting the energy hierarchy of coupled nanomagnets. However, low-power operation is largely incompatible with deterministic logic, because the temperature required for fast operation reduces the coupling too much. This study overcomes that problem using local, selective plasmon-assisted photoheating of individual nanomagnets to drive a logic gate deterministically toward the desired low-energy output state, on nanosecond time scales. This approach demonstrates the possibility of computational metamaterials and could have immediate technological relevance.

Fully connected quantum networks have been realized with bulk nonlinear crystals and passive filters, but this traditional optical platform limits a network’s scalability in terms of photon-pair number and brightness, compatibility with quantum memory, and cost effectiveness. The authors address all of those challenges by employing an integrated SiN microring resonator to generate energy-time-entangled quantum frequency microcombs with a wide frequency span and narrow bandwidth modes. Photon pairs are selected and distributed to form a fully and simultaneously connected multiuser quantum network, paving the way to turnkey solutions for large entanglement-based quantum networks.

Generation of quantum resources like entanglement is pivotal for quantum technology. This work uses superconducting Josephson metamaterials to generate color-entangled photons from vacuum fluctuations at a high rate, showing the presented system to be a superb microwave entanglement generator with remarkable bandwidth. Successful squeezing of the light is also demonstrated. These results are quite promising for quantum computing, sensing, and communication with superconducting devices.

Noncollinear antiferromagnets (AFMs) with topological electronic properties attract great interest, as they allow for all-electrical readout and manipulation of AFM order. The mechanisms and timescales to reverse AFM order are not known, though. In this study of current-driven switching of chiral AFM order in the classic Weyl semimetal MnSn, time-resolved measurements show that switching is incoherent and occurs over several nanoseconds, owing to self-heating and then cooling of AFM domains in the presence of a Pt overlayer. These results unravel the spin dynamics of chiral AFMs and highlight the possibility of multilevel switching based on the temporal profile of current pulses.

Crosstalk suppression is a key requirement for scalable implementations of fault-tolerant quantum computing, in particular using superconducting devices. This study demonstrates a simple, effective, and easily scalable scheme for dynamical decoupling to slash crosstalk. The scheme uses existing logic gates and does not require any additional calibrations or complexity. Apart from showing significant improvements in quantum memory experiments with multiqubit commercial processors, this approach also boosts the performance of single- and two-qubit gates. This method is suitable for immediate incorporation into both near-term NISQ and longer-term fault-tolerant systems.

Corrugations strongly affect the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional materials, and could be used to develop e.g. ultrathin pressure sensors, electronic waveguides, or hydrogen-storage devices. That requires fine control of the structure and geometry of the wrinkles, and thus a reliable and flexible method to generate them. This work shows how polymeric microactuators can be used to induce ordered arrays of wrinkles on graphene. Moreover, its proof-of-concept experiment demonstrates the potential of mechanical actuators to tune the corrugation of other two-dimensional materials as well.

Applications of optical magnetometers in demanding environments require a high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) to effectively suppress ambient noise, but challenges still remain to achieve experimental sensitivity at the quantum noise level. The authors develop a compact magnetic gradiometer featuring a high CMRR and a differential sensitivity of tens of femtoteslas over a broad dynamic range, including Earth’s field magnitude. This gradiometer is also nearly quantum-noise-limited, which is compatible with quantum enhancement techniques in geomagnetic fields and can be used in unshielded environments such as space science, navigation, and biomedicine.

True random-number generators (TRNGs) are crucial in modern information technology, especially in cryptographic systems. TRNGs can be realized via stochastic physical processes, such as the thermally activated magnetization switching in a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The fluctuations in MTJ-based TRNGs are still too slow for many practical purposes, though. This study proposes that the simple application of a small magnetic field can increase the generation rate of a MTJ-TRNG by several orders of magnitude, up to gigahertz frequencies. This approach could turn commercialized MTJ-MRAM devices into fast TRNGs with minimal modification.

Human activities threaten coral survival. A better understanding of the coral behaviors in response to environmental changes may lead to a rescue plan but remains challenging. The authors demonstrate quantitative features of coral motion—a key trait of coral polyps—through real-time microscopy on a fluidic platform, and discover the correlated fractional Brownian motion of coral polyps under different light and temperature conditions. Numerical analysis and theoretical modeling are performed to interpret the observed coral dynamics. This work provides systematic techniques to study coral polyp motions and advances our knowledge of their behavior under climate change.

Nonreciprocal thermal photonics is an emerging topic in thermal radiation control. Recent advances in using this approach for energy harvesting, thermal management, and even communication have stimulated substantial interest in the subject. The authors review recent developments, challenges, and opportunities in the unidirectional transfer of heat energy via light, to provide a snapshot of the current status of the field, and to advance future research in it.
