Scanning tunneling spectroscopic imaging reveals a field-driven symmetry breaking of CDW modulations in superconducting NbSe₂. Model calculations suggest that the observed anisotropy originates from a Doppler-shift-induced reconstruction of the dispersion of Bogoliubov quasiparticle excitations.

A broadband, sub-wavelength time-domain microscope is described, enabling the observation that terahertz light trapped within a cavity can mediate attractive interactions in a tunable van der Waals material.

The presence of Majorana zero modes is often difficult to confirm experimentally due to the detrimental effects of disorder. Now, a chain of magnetic atoms on a proximatized surface is shown to exhibit robust Majorana states with disorder present.

Bottom-Up Synthesis of Molecular Nanodiamond from Nanographene

Layered anisotropic 2D materials hold potential for the realization of compact polarization modulators. Here, the authors realize a Fabry-Perot cavity integrating two orthogonally stacked and independently gated black phosphorus trilayers, showing tunable polarization control and predicting electronic access to up to 86% of the Poincaré sphere.

Local quantum nondemolition measurements and optical manipulation of long-lived circular Rydberg atoms are demonstrated by coupling them to an auxiliary array of low-angular-momentum Rydberg atoms.

Mapping the positions of Two-Level-Systems on the surface of a superconducting transmon qubit

Bright squeezed vacuum light boosts nonlinear atomic tunnelling ionization more than 20-fold compared with coherent light, enabling quantum control of strong-field processes without increasing classical intensity.

A reconstruction method based on Gaussian-apodized single-sideband electron ptychography removes artefacts to enable the high-fidelity identification of guest species in porous materials.

More spin current can be produced with less energy lost at the source, thanks to inter-magnet pumping that rebalances angular momentum dissipation between sublattices in a ferrimagnetic multilayer.

The combination of viscous heat flow and thermoelastic effects leads to a non-diffusive heat transport regime in MoSe2 and MoS2. Moreover, it can be controlled through the variation in sample thickness and by choosing between continuous and pulsed heating.

How magnetic impurities influence superconductivity and electronic order in kagome metals remains unclear. Now anisotropic Kondo resonances intertwined with the superconducting gap are observed in a magnetically doped kagome superconductor.

Practical blueprint for low-depth photonic quantum computing with quantum dots

An ultrafast imaging technique captured the propagation of charge-decoupled excitations in twisted bilayer WSe2. Two spin–valley modes with distinct propagation behaviours were revealed, consistent with the phase and amplitude modes of a spin–valley superfluid.

An electron-beam technique that can precisely create thousands of atomic defects in a crystal could be used to build quantum devices.

How angular momentum is exchanged and conserved among lattice modes has been difficult to measure experimentally, but has now been observed via a coherent three-phonon scattering process in a topological insulator.

A tunable artificial crystal in a shallow GaAs quantum well is shown to enable interaction-driven insulating behaviour. Electrostatic control tunes the band structure from graphene-like to kagome-like bands.
