Mechanical modes promise applications in continuous-variable quantum information processing, but only if the final two elements—squeezing and nonlinearity—are achieved. Experiments with an oscillator coupled to a transmon qubit now achieve this.

- Quantum squeezing in a nonlinear mechanical oscillator
- Information gets into the flow with wave scatteringNature Physics, Published online: 21 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02550-9 140 years ago, John Henry Poynting demonstrated “by what paths and according to what law” electromagnetic energy travels. Theory and experiment now also reveal how waves acquire information as they scatter through their environment.
- Critical delay accumulationNature Physics, Published online: 20 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02507-y In many schedule-based systems, timeliness is paramount. A recent study provides insights into delay accumulation in networks, revealing a phase transition with connections to the physics of interfaces.
- Geometry-driven migration efficiency of autonomous epithelial cell clustersNature Physics, Published online: 19 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02532-x The collective migration of cell clusters is modulated by substrate geometry through a combination of velocity and polarity alignment.
- Timeliness criticality in complex systemsNature Physics, Published online: 19 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02525-w Timeliness is a crucial property for the optimal functioning of socio-technical systems where delays can propagate. Now it is shown that a stylized model of delay propagation on temporal networks shows a phase transition that can trigger avalanches.
- Violation of Bell inequality by photon scattering on a two-level emitterNature Physics, Published online: 19 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02543-8 A semiconductor quantum dot can passively mediate interactions between two photons, enabling the creation of entangled photon states.
- Hole spins somersault in a CMOS quantum computerNature Physics, Published online: 19 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02556-3 The rotation of holes jumping between quantum dots in silicon quantum computers creates additional complexity for two-qubit operations. Understanding the rules of this somersaulting movement is key to the progress of hole-based qubit technology.
- Brilliant neutronsNature Physics, Published online: 14 June 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02573-2 Construction of the European Spallation Source began 10 years ago. Upon completion, its advanced technology and sustainable design will herald a new era for neutron scattering experiments.
