Solid-state quantum devices can suffer from decoherence caused by fluctuating electron spins in the surrounding material. Operating in a regime where the electron spins become magnetically ordered produces substantially longer coherence times.

- Long optical coherence times in a rare-earth-doped antiferromagnet
- Valley-controlled photoswitching of metal–insulator nanotexturesNature Physics, Published online: 21 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02899-5 Optical excitation is a way to control phase transitions in materials, but it lacks spatial specificity. Now, valley-selective photodoping in a Peierls insulator is demonstrated as a method to optically engineer phase textures with minimal heating.
- Quantum neural networks form Gaussian processesNature Physics, Published online: 21 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02883-z The connection between classical neural networks and Gaussian processes is a fundamental result in machine learning. It has now been shown that many quantum neural networks converge to Gaussian processes, enabling their use for regression tasks.
- Strain-stiffening universality in composite hydrogels and soft tissuesNature Physics, Published online: 20 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02869-x The nonlinear mechanical properties of soft biological tissues and composites are poorly understood. Their strain stiffening under compression and shear is now found to be universal, and follows from the physics of the underlying biopolymer matrix.
- Entanglement meets artificial intelligence in quantum sensorsNature Physics, Published online: 19 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02868-y The high precision of atomic sensors can be further enhanced by quantum correlations between atoms prepared in an entangled state through the use of artificial intelligence.
- Robust supermoiré pattern in large-angle single-twist bilayersNature Physics, Published online: 16 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02914-9 Moiré patterns and flat bands usually occur in multilayer materials with a small interlayer twist angle, but this can cause detrimental lattice reconstruction. Now, flat bands are shown in a bilayer with large twist angle and structural rigidity.
- A human history of meteoritesNature Physics, Published online: 15 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02904-x A human history of meteorites
- Young metrologists’ visionNature Physics, Published online: 15 May 2025; doi:10.1038/s41567-025-02903-y Many young metrologists have fascinating ideas that could shape the future of metrology. Chingis Kuanbayev and Kangyoung Sung tell us how the young professionals imagine what the field will look like beyond 2050.
