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.

  1. Observation of microscopic confinement dynamics by a tunable topological θ-angle

    Nature Physics, Published online: 20 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02702-x

    Topological terms arise naturally in gauge theories but have been difficult to implement in quantum simulators. Now, a tunable topological θ-angle is demonstrated with a cold-atom platform.
  2. Publisher Correction: Heavy-tailed neuronal connectivity arises from Hebbian self-organization

  3. Controlling interactions between high-frequency phonons and single quantum systems using phononic crystals

    Nature Physics, Published online: 18 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02697-5

    The phonon density of states in diamond is engineered using phononic crystals to suppress single-phonon processes that induce decoherence in individual quantum emitters.
  4. Nishimori transition across the error threshold for constant-depth quantum circuits

    Nature Physics, Published online: 16 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02696-6

    Measurements combined with post-processing of their outcomes can be used to prepare ordered quantum states. It has been shown that they can drive a Nishimori phase transition into a disordered state even in the presence of quantum errors.
  5. Evidence for fractional matter coupled to an emergent gauge field in a quantum spin ice

    Nature Physics, Published online: 12 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02711-w

    Quantum fluctuations in frustrated magnets are expected to produce unconventional emergent behaviour. Neutron spectroscopy measurements now provide evidence for emergent gauge fields in a pyrochlore spin ice.
  6. Author Correction: Real-space imaging of phase transitions in bridged artificial kagome spin ice

    Nature Physics, Published online: 12 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02747-y

  7. Into the islands of inversion

    Nature Physics, Published online: 12 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02718-3

    In systematic studies of radioactive isotopes, the so-called islands of inversion appear to be promising areas of the nuclear chart in which to look for phenomena that challenge the traditional description of the atomic nucleus.
  8. Chirp of the town

    Nature Physics, Published online: 10 December 2024; doi:10.1038/s41567-024-02725-4
