Magnetic imaging based on solid-state quantum sensors has proved useful for characterizing the properties and functions of magnetic materials. However, these sensors are often restricted to measuring fields along specific directions that may not necessarily align with material anisotropy axes. This study demonstrates a different approach based on spin-½-like sensors in hexagonal boron nitride, which have an isotropic response to magnetic fields. These sensors are used to measure spin-reorientation transitions in the ferrimagnet TbMnSn, highlighting their potential for magnetic imaging under arbitrary fields.

When is quantum better? Quantum annealers are promising for tackling hard optimization tasks, but claims of quantum advantage depend critically on comparison to strong classical methods. Revisiting a recent benchmark for approximate optimization, this work shows that a GPU-based simulated bifurcation machine, driven by classical chaotic dynamics, closes the reported quantum-classical scaling gap. The results demonstrate that the instances studied previously were too small to establish a robust advantage, under careful runtime accounting. A class of sparse spin-glass instances is identified as a more realistic case in which future quantum annealers could show genuine scaling advantage.

Josephson transmission lines are key elements of superconducting devices for microwave amplification and signal processing. Their response to strong microwave drives, though, remains puzzling. The authors study a strongly nonlinear regime in which the phase-length variation of a probe wave grows, develops pronounced oscillations, and finally saturates as pump power increases. This effect is due to the nonlinear oscillatory renormalization of the Josephson inductance, with propagation losses hiding the oscillations. The results are an important step toward understanding the response of these systems, which are promising for the design of strongly nonlinear superconducting devices.

(In,Ga)N quantum wells, the light-emitting layers at the heart of highly efficient GaN LEDs, have enabled the solid-state lighting revolution. Even so, the physics of disorder-induced carrier localization in these layers remains controversial. The authors show that accurate modeling of their disorder effects lead to accurate predictions of their basic optical properties, from emission lineshape to Stokes shift. Contrary to expectations, carrier localization is only partial, and the same physics explains the peculiar properties of red (In,Ga)N LEDs. This study provides a framework for understanding localization effects in III-nitride materials, and for designing tomorrow’s emitters.

Short-range correlations in electrolyte solutions underlie atomic-scale phenomena at electrochemical interfaces, including spatial oscillations in electrostatic potential, solvent polarization, and ion density. Incorporating and parametrizing these effects at interfaces with electronically responsive electrodes remain challenging for continuum modeling. This study develops a practical procedure for parametrizing short-range correlation effects within density-potential-polarization functional theory (DPPFT), which provides a unified description of electrode electronic response and structured electrolytes under constant-potential conditions.

Residual ZZ crosstalk can be a significant source of coherent error in superconducting quantum processors. In conventional all-transmon systems, canceling this crosstalk typically requires closely spaced qubit frequencies, which can worsen susceptibility to microwave crosstalk and frequency crowding. This study uses a fluxonium coupler between two transmon qubits to cancel static ZZ crosstalk while operating outside that restrictive frequency regime. The authors identify zero-ZZ operating points with qubit-qubit detuning exceeding 400 MHz, and demonstrate CZ gates with fidelities exceeding 99.6%. This fluxonium-mediated architecture could be a path to low-crosstalk processors.

Full-field imaging of nanometer-scale surface waves on liquid helium offers possibilities for high-precision experiments, but the cryogenic environment required to maintain superfluidity makes traditional optics impractical. This study overcomes the challenge with a custom holography setup, demonstrated in both a helium-bath cryostat and a cryogen-free refrigerator. The approach is validated by reconstructing the relation between the wave number and frequency of superfluid surface waves, which also highlights its potential for advancing next-generation research in fluid dynamics and quantum simulation.

The spontaneous Nernst effect in ferromagnetic metals is relevant for thermal-management applications and transverse heat-to-electricity generation, but material optimization is limited by our incomplete understanding of the underlying physics. The authors evaluate the transport coefficients using Boltzmann transport and a rigid two-band model, explicitly treating transverse current density due to Berry curvature as a Fermi-surface property. What they find stands in stark contrast to the ordinary Nernst effect. Their physical insights and proposed recipes for tailoring band structure could lead to improved magnets made from 3d transition metals for thermoelectric applications.

Magnonics, in which information is processed with spin waves instead of electronic charge, offers a path to energy-efficient computing beyond CMOS, but scaling has been held back because shrinking conventional waveguides sharply slows spin waves and shortens their reach. Using experiment, simulation, and analytical modeling, the authors show that Ga:YIG waveguides as narrow as 145 nm support exchange-dominated spin waves moving at 600 m/s, much faster than in plain YIG, with a group velocity almost independent of waveguide width. This fast, long-lived, geometry-independent transport makes Ga:YIG a compelling platform for nanoscale magnonic logic and hybrid spin-wave–CMOS architectures.

Controlling the unconventional magnetism of graphene, particularly its antiferromagnetic states that exhibit ferromagnetlike behavior, is essential for advancing graphene-based spintronics. Combining first‑principles calculations with scanning-probe measurements of sandwiched graphene nanoribbons, the authors reveal spontaneous out‑of‑plane polarization due to stacking‑induced inversion-symmetry breaking. This enables bistable polarization states that can be reversibly switched via interlayer sliding with an ultralow energy barrier. Pronounced spin splitting and spin‑dependent transport furthermore point to low‑energy, nonvolatile spintronic devices based on sliding ferroelectrics.

Diode behavior is usually associated with broken reciprocity, so a superconducting diode without magnetic fields or structural-inversion symmetry breaking seems counterintuitive. The authors show that a simple off-axis dc bias can convert intrinsic anisotropy into a transverse superconducting diode effect without breaking either time reversal or inversion symmetry. When the bias exceeds a critical threshold, the device enters a unidirectional superconductivity regime in which the transverse supercurrent flows only in one direction. This current-gated mechanism suggests a flexible route to tunable superconducting transistors, supercurrent range controllers, and rectifiers.

The sound of (nonreciprocal) silence: By engineering radiative losses in a non-Hermitian acoustic cavity, the authors theoretically and experimentally link quasi-bound states in the continuum to scattering singularities. Utilizing Friedrich-Wintgen interference, the system achieves narrowband coherent perfect absorption with a quality factor of 140. Furthermore, the emergence of an exceptional point enables distinct unidirectional absorption, offering a robust framework for designing highly tunable precision acoustic devices.

Contactless actuation with acoustic waves is attractive for applications in robotics, programmable matter, and active structures, but the ability to control motion is typically limited to small, subwavelength objects. This study presents frequency-detuned acoustic metasurfaces that overcome this limitation by converting small changes in wave frequency into large, reversible acoustic forces and torques on objects larger than the wavelength. Motion is programmed into the surface and commanded through frequency alone, opening opportunities for battery-free robotics, programmable materials, soft robotic systems, and remote mechanical control across a broad range of wave-based technologies.

X-ray-scattering tensor tomography with circular gratings can reveal unresolved microstructural anisotropy in materials, including biological tissue, yet robust tensor retrieval remains limited by illumination coupling in structured grating illumination. Here researchers reveal that illumination coupling introduces a grating-frame bias that breaks rotation equivariance in cell-based chord retrieval, affecting the dark-field signal, while Fourier-transform retrieval suppresses this bias. This insight clarifies an important error mechanism in this tomographic technique, and may guide more reliable laboratory implementations.

The authors propose a strategy for passive radio-frequency shimming iin high-field MRI, based on controlled frequency detuning of concentric split-ring resonators. By redistributing induced currents, the proposed structure compensates standing-wave-induced inhomogeneities in the transmit rf field, and enables tailoring of the rf magnetic field distribution to different anatomical regions. Compact design achieves this functionality using only six resonators, substantially reducing the number of resonant elements and tuning parameters compared to conventional resonant metasurfaces.

Measuring gravity gradients with atomic interferometers is a transformative quantum geophysical technique for mineral exploration, geological surveys, and underground engineering, but oversized hardware and poor repeatability hinder its field deployment. This work develops a compact, sensitive atomic gravity gradiometer in a minivan platform, with suppression of the Coriolis effect (the primary factor undermining repeatability). This miniaturized vehicle-borne instrument overcomes key bottlenecks restricting field use of atom-interferometric gradiometers, offering a pathway to high-accuracy subsurface geological mapping, civil-infrastructure assessment, and archaeological investigation.

Photon-noise enhancement from detector-source interaction is important in astrophysical applications, but we do not fully understand the photon statistics of sources with narrow linewidths, occupying the middle ground between fully chaotic thermal and fully coherent radiation. The authors use an antenna array with cold-electron bolometers to study the excess photon noise from a Josephson-junction oscillator, which acts as a phase-diffusion source with a narrow spectral line. The noise exhibits an unexpectedly large bunching-term contribution, due to the conversion of the source’s frequency fluctuations into amplitude fluctuations via the detector’s frequency-dependent response.

Short-range correlations in electrolyte solutions underlie atomic-scale phenomena at electrochemical interfaces, including spatial oscillations in electrostatic potential, solvent polarization, and ion density. Incorporating and parametrizing these effects at interfaces with electronically responsive electrodes remain challenging for continuum modeling. This study develops a practical procedure for parametrizing short-range correlation effects within density-potential-polarization functional theory (DPPFT), which provides a unified description of electrode electronic response and structured electrolytes under constant-potential conditions.

Residual ZZ crosstalk can be a significant source of coherent error in superconducting quantum processors. In conventional all-transmon systems, canceling this crosstalk typically requires closely spaced qubit frequencies, which can worsen susceptibility to microwave crosstalk and frequency crowding. This study uses a fluxonium coupler between two transmon qubits to cancel static ZZ crosstalk while operating outside that restrictive frequency regime. The authors identify zero-ZZ operating points with qubit-qubit detuning exceeding 400 MHz, and demonstrate CZ gates with fidelities exceeding 99.6%. This fluxonium-mediated architecture could be a path to low-crosstalk processors.

Full-field imaging of nanometer-scale surface waves on liquid helium offers possibilities for high-precision experiments, but the cryogenic environment required to maintain superfluidity makes traditional optics impractical. This study overcomes the challenge with a custom holography setup, demonstrated in both a helium-bath cryostat and a cryogen-free refrigerator. The approach is validated by reconstructing the relation between the wave number and frequency of superfluid surface waves, which also highlights its potential for advancing next-generation research in fluid dynamics and quantum simulation.

The spontaneous Nernst effect in ferromagnetic metals is relevant for thermal-management applications and transverse heat-to-electricity generation, but material optimization is limited by our incomplete understanding of the underlying physics. The authors evaluate the transport coefficients using Boltzmann transport and a rigid two-band model, explicitly treating transverse current density due to Berry curvature as a Fermi-surface property. What they find stands in stark contrast to the ordinary Nernst effect. Their physical insights and proposed recipes for tailoring band structure could lead to improved magnets made from 3d transition metals for thermoelectric applications.

Magnonics, in which information is processed with spin waves instead of electronic charge, offers a path to energy-efficient computing beyond CMOS, but scaling has been held back because shrinking conventional waveguides sharply slows spin waves and shortens their reach. Using experiment, simulation, and analytical modeling, the authors show that Ga:YIG waveguides as narrow as 145 nm support exchange-dominated spin waves moving at 600 m/s, much faster than in plain YIG, with a group velocity almost independent of waveguide width. This fast, long-lived, geometry-independent transport makes Ga:YIG a compelling platform for nanoscale magnonic logic and hybrid spin-wave–CMOS architectures.
