HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

FEATURED IN PHYSICS

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Quantum Data Compression of a Qubit Ensemble

Lee A. Rozema, Dylan H. Mahler, Alex Hayat, Peter S. Turner, and Aephraim M. Steinberg

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 160504 (2014) - Published 17 October, 2014

A technique that packs the full content of three bits of quantum information into two may be a space saver for quantum computers.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Fractional Angular Momentum in Cold-Atom Systems

Yuhe Zhang, G. J. Sreejith, N. D. Gemelke, and J. K. Jain

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 160404 (2014) - Published 16 October, 2014

A method is proposed that would allow fractional statistics to be measured experimentally using a pair of atoms immersed in a specifically tailored quantum many-body state.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Solvable Relativistic Hydrogenlike System in Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory

Simon Caron-Huot and Johannes M. Henn

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 161601 (2014) - Published 16 October, 2014

A relativistic quantum field theory extension to the classical Kepler problem provides a new method to compute the bound states of massive $W$ bosons in planar $N = 4$ super Yang-Mills.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Observation of Overlapping Spin-1 and Spin-3 ${\bar{D}}^{0} K^{-}$ Resonances at Mass $2.86 GeV / c^{2}$

R. Aaij et al. (LHCb Collaboration)

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 162001 (2014) - Published 14 October, 2014

The LHCb collaboration has observed the first spin-3 resonance containing a heavy quark produced in the decay of the bottom-hadron $B_{s}^{0}$ .

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

New Classes of Systematic Effects in Gas Spin Comagnetometers

D. Sheng, A. Kabcenell, and M. V. Romalis

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 163002 (2014) - Published 16 October, 2014

Progress has been made in understanding systematic effects from thermal and magnetic field gradients on comagnetometers – devices that compare the nuclear spin procession of two atomic species.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Reversing the Temporal Envelope of a Heralded Single Photon using a Cavity

Bharath Srivathsan, Gurpreet Kaur Gulati, Alessandro Cerè, Brenda Chng, and Christian Kurtsiefer

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 163601 (2014) - Published 15 October, 2014

The temporal pulse shape of a single photon can be engineered, from an exponential decay to an exponential rise, using a Fabry-Perot optical cavity. This ‘shaping’ would make it easier to couple photons to atoms in a cavity.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Eight Types of Symmetrically Distinct Vectorlike Physical Quantities

J. Hlinka

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 165502 (2014) - Published 15 October, 2014

The family of vector-like quantities is expanded from four to eight using symmetry arguments. These new vectors may be useful for describing systems including chiral objects, topological defects, or magnetic vortices.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Trion-Induced Negative Photoconductivity in Monolayer ${MoS}_{2}$

C. H. Lui, A. J. Frenzel, D. V. Pilon, Y.-H. Lee, X. Ling, G. M. Akselrod, J. Kong, and N. Gedik

Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 166801 (2014) - Published 16 October, 2014

Ultrafast optical excitation of doped MoS $_{2}$ causes a pronounced transient decrease in its conductivity, due to strong many-body interactions in the material that convert the 2D electron gas into a trion gas.
