Even a child intuitively understands the cold of winter or the heat of a hot summer day. However, when it comes to a scientific definition of temperature, things get murky quickly. As Aaron Hui explains, measuring electrical noise is one way to measure temperature directly.

- 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.
