RSS Nature Physics
Nature Physics offers news and reviews alongside top-quality research papers in a monthly publication, covering the entire spectrum of physics. Physics addresses the properties and interactions of matter and energy, and plays a key role in the development of a broad range of technologies. To reflect this, Nature Physics covers all areas of pure and applied physics research. The journal focuses on core physics disciplines, but is also open to a broad range of topics whose central theme falls within the bounds of physics.

- Like a virusNature Physics, Published online: 13 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02815-x Like a virus
- Optical readout of a superconducting qubit using a piezo-optomechanical transducerNature Physics, Published online: 11 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02742-3 Superconducting qubits are measured using microwaves, posing constraints on its size and thermal budgets. The electro-optic transceiver presented here can be used to perform optical readout without affecting qubit performance.
- All-optical superconducting qubit readoutNature Physics, Published online: 11 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02741-4 Microwaves are usually used to interact with superconducting qubits, but optical photons can be processed at room temperature. The electro-optical transceiver presented here allows all-optical readout of a qubit without affecting its performance.
- Nematicity and orbital depairing in superconducting Bernal bilayer grapheneNature Physics, Published online: 10 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02776-7 Two regions of superconductivity are observed in the phase diagram of Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene. Spin–orbit coupling induced by the substrate and orbital moments are shown to be important in describing their properties.

- Unified percolation scenario for the α and β processes in simple glass formersNature Physics, Published online: 07 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02762-z A unified description of the dynamics of structurally disordered materials is challenging. Simulations of model systems now show that percolation theory provides a framework unifying the two most prominent relaxation processes in supercooled liquids and glasses.
- Stirring the false vacuum via interacting quantized bubbles on a 5,564-qubit quantum annealerNature Physics, Published online: 04 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02765-w Bubble formation is a signal of false vacuum decay, in which a system transitions from a local energy minimum to a true vacuum. Now, simulations on a quantum annealer show how interactions between bubbles drive the long-time dynamics of this process.
- A bound on thermalization from diffusive fluctuationsNature Physics, Published online: 04 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02774-9 It has been proposed that the equilibration time of many-body systems is limited by a timescale determined by Planck’s constant and temperature. A bound of this kind has now been identified for a universal definition of equilibration time.
