A key remaining challenge is to enhance the capabilities of individual nodes, providing precise and robust control over multiple qubits. Here we demonstrate coherent control in a hybrid quantum node based on a diamond colour centre. We entangle three types of qubit: an electron spin as an interface qubit, a nuclear spin with long memory time and a flying photonic qubit. These qubits’ frequencies span three distinct regimes, from the optical to the radio-frequency domain. By incorporating two additional nuclear spins, we encode three memory qubits into a logical state using a repetition code and entangle this logical qubit with a photonic qubit. We repeatedly read out the error syndromes of memory qubits using the electron interface qubit, then apply real-time feedback operations to correct bit-flip errors. We perform our protocol for up to 12 rounds and demonstrate an improvement in the logical–photonic joint state population compared with its uncorrected counterpart. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of several key functionalities required for quantum repeaters to operate in full-fledged quantum networks.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143766903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Superconducting microwave qubits operating in cryogenic environments have emerged as promising candidates for quantum processor nodes. However, scaling these systems is challenging because they require bulky microwave components with high thermal loads that can quickly overwhelm the cooling power of a dilution refrigerator. Telecommunication frequency optical signals, however, can be fabricated in significantly smaller form factors to avoid challenges caused by high signal loss, noise sensitivity and thermal loads due to their high carrier frequency and propagation in silica optical fibres. Transduction of information by means of coherent links between optical and microwave frequencies is therefore critical to leverage the advantages of optics for superconducting microwave qubits, while also enabling superconducting processors to be linked with low-loss optical interconnects. Here, we demonstrate coherent optical control of a superconducting qubit. We achieve this by developing a microwave–optical quantum transducer that operates with up to 1.18% conversion efficiency with low added microwave noise, and we demonstrate optically driven Rabi oscillations in a superconducting qubit.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143758124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zhang et al. Nature Physics https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-024-02521-0 (2024)Casimir–Lifshitz forces have attracted much attention due to their relevance in controlling various phenomena1,2 and as a manifestation of quantum fluctuations3. Lifshitz and colleagues proposed a theory connecting the response function of materials to an electromagnetic field with the magnitude of these forces4. According to this theory, precise control over the permittivities of interacting materials allows both the magnitude and the sign of Casimir forces to be tuned, a phenomenon that has been experimentally demonstrated5,6. In principle, a similar tuning can be achieved by manipulating the permeabilities (μ) of the interacting materials at optical frequencies. However, this task becomes challenging when the contrast in permeability diminishes at much lower frequencies (approximately in the terahertz range)7. Zhang et al. reported the ability to tune Casimir forces using a magnetic field8. They demonstrated that the measured force between a gold sphere and a silica (SiO2) plate interacting through aqueous suspensions containing magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles underwent a reversal—shifting from attraction to repulsion at a specific separation distance—when a magnetic field was applied. However, we argue that both their theoretical framework and experimental data fail to substantiate this claim.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An important step towards multicellularity, which is associated with benefits such as enhanced nutrient uptake, was the formation of colonies of unicellular organisms. However, the initial drivers that favoured individual cells aggregating into more complex colonies are less clear. Here we show that hydrodynamic coupling between proximate neighbours results in faster feeding flows for neighbouring ciliates, such that individuals within a dynamic colony have stronger average feeding flows than solitary individuals. Flows generated by individuals acting together reach higher velocities, thus allowing access to a wider range of prey resources than individuals acting on their own. Moreover, we find that accrued feeding benefits are typically asymmetric: whereas all individuals benefit from acting together, those with slower solitary currents gain more from partnering than those with faster currents. We find that colonial organization in simple unicellular organisms is beneficial for all its members. This provides fundamental insights into the selective forces favouring the early evolution of multicellular organization.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We show that the loss of extracellular circadian synchronization disrupts circadian and cell cycle coordination within individual cells, impeding collective tissue growth. We use the theory of coupled oscillators combined with live population, and single-cell recordings and precise experimental perturbations. Coherent circadian rhythms yield oscillatory growth patterns, which unveil a global timing regulator of tissue dynamics. Knocking out core circadian elements abolishes the observed effects, highlighting the central role of circadian clock regulation. Our results underscore the role of tissue-level circadian disruption in regulating proliferation, thereby linking disrupted circadian clocks with oncogenic processes.

This results in a unique crystal-symmetry-paired spin–valley locking and related properties including piezomagnetism and non-collinear spin current even without spin–orbit coupling. However, most known unconventional antiferromagnets do not meet the necessary symmetry requirements for non-relativistic spin current, and this limits applications in spintronic devices. Here we demonstrate crystal-symmetry-paired spin–valley locking in a layered room-temperature antiferromagnetic compound, Rb1−δV2Te2O. Spin-resolved photoemission measurements directly show the opposite spin splitting between crystal-symmetry-paired valleys. Quasi-particle interference patterns show the suppression of intervalley scattering due to the spin selection rules that are a direct consequence of the spin–valley locking. These results suggest that Rb1−δV2Te2O is a potential room-temperature altermagnet candidate. Our observations highlight a methodology that enables both the advantages of layered materials and possible control through crystal symmetry manipulation for advancements in magnetism, electronics and information technology.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"183 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
