Phys.org / Two paths, one flux: Trapped ions simulate Aharonov–Bohm interference in a lattice gauge theory

In a new Nature Physics study, researchers demonstrated the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory using a hybrid trapped-ion quantum computer.

Phys.org / Breaking the ice: Scientists use attracting particles to form an anti-spin ice

In a recent Nature Communications study, researchers have reported the realization of an anti-spin ice, a system that does the opposite of conventional spin ices by breaking the ice rule that governs them.

Phys.org / Measuring regrowth: Erk gradients guide zebrafish fins back to their original size after injury

In a new Nature Physics study, researchers found that fin regrowth in zebrafish is driven by a brief burst of growth signal at the fin tip, sized to the amount lost, which sets up gradients of Erk activity that guide the ...

Phys.org / Warming unlocks ancient carbon in Tibetan permafrost, triggering climate tipping point

A new study in Nature Communications finds a critical climate tipping point in Tibetan permafrost ecosystems. Warming of 2–4 degrees Celsius triggers a self-reinforcing cycle of carbon release that could significantly accelerate ...

Phys.org / Hydrogen puts quantum wormhole conjecture to the test

A new Physical Review Letters study places constraints on the ER = EPR conjecture, showing that under the authors' assumptions, the conjecture would imply possible alterations to the hyperfine structure and effective charge ...

Phys.org / Universal quantum protocol extracts maximum work without knowing a system's state in advance

A new study published in Nature Communications has shown that in the asymptotic limit, extracting the maximum possible work from many copies of a quantum system does not require knowing exactly what state that system is in.
