In the intermediate- and strong-coupling regimes common to many conventional and quantum materials, a many-body treatment of polarons requires adding up a large number of electron–phonon Feynman diagrams. In this regard, diagrammatic Monte Carlo is an efficient method for diagram summation and has been used to study polarons within simplified electron–phonon models. Here we develop diagrammatic Monte Carlo calculations based on accurate first-principles electron–phonon interactions, enabling numerically exact results for the ground-state and dynamical properties of polarons in real materials. We implement these calculations in LiF, SrTiO3, and rutile and anatase TiO2, and describe both localized and delocalized polarons. Our work enables the precise modeling of electron–phonon interactions and polarons in coupling regimes ranging from weak to strong. The results will provide deeper insights into transport phenomena, linear response and superconductivity within the strong electron–phonon coupling regime.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593846","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}

Optically addressable solid-state spins offer scalability to a large Hilbert space but suffer from large on-site disorder and undesired couplings to the environment. Here we investigated a strongly interacting ensemble of millions of optically addressable ytterbium-171 ions in a crystal. This platform features a clock transition that is first-order insensitive to magnetic fluctuations, thus exhibiting superior coherence and small disorder. Notably, the clock transition also gives rise to pure spin-exchange interactions, realizing the dipolar XY model, which is difficult to access in other solid-state spin systems. We exploited this feature to investigate quantum thermalization by varying the relative ratio of interaction strength to disorder, dynamically engineering the XY model into other many-body Hamiltonian models and realizing a time-crystalline phase of matter through periodic driving. Our results demonstrated that an ensemble of rare earth ions serves as a versatile test bed for many-body physics and developing quantum technologies.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586399","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}

Quantum optical skyrmions with local topological textures are expected to reshape the landscape of quantum photonic technology, although their experimental implementation has not yet been demonstrated. Here we present experimental realizations of nanophotonic quantum skyrmions using a semiconductor cavity quantum electrodynamics system. By manipulating the photonic spin–orbit coupling in a Gaussian microcavity, we obtained a confined optical mode whose polarizations feature skyrmionic topologies. With pronounced cavity quantum electrodynamics effects, we generated and detected single-photon skyrmions from a solid-state quantum emitter deterministically coupled to the Gaussian microcavity. The polarity associated with single-photon skyrmions can be swapped by flipping the polarization of the quantum emitter through the Zeeman effect. We also investigated the topological protection of quantum optical skyrmions under different perturbations. Our work opens an unexplored aspect of quantum light–matter interactions in the nanoscale and might advance resilient photonic quantum technology with high-dimensional qubits and high-capacity quantum memories.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144586398","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}

Measuring the phase generated by an exchange of anyons is challenging, as standard interferometry set-ups—such as the Fabry–Pérot interferometer—suffer from charging effects that obscure the interference signal. Here we present the observation of anyonic interference and exchange phases in an optical-like Mach–Zehnder interferometer based on co-propagating interface modes. By avoiding backscattering and deleterious charging effects, this set-up enables pristine and robust Aharonov–Bohm interference without any phase slips. At various fractional filling factors, the observed flux periodicities agree with the fundamental fractionally charged excitations that correspond to Jain states and depend only on the bulk topological order. To probe the anyonic statistics, we used a small, charged top gate in the interferometer bulk to induce localized quasiparticles without modifying the Aharonov–Bohm phase. The added quasiparticles introduce periodic phase slips. The sign and magnitude of the observed phase slips align with the expected value at filling 1/3, but their direction shows systematic deviations at fillings 2/5 and 3/7. Control over added individual quasiparticles in this design is essential for measuring the coveted non-abelian statistics in the future.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144533765","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}

However, technological applications of photoinduced phases are limited by their ultrashort lifetimes and the low temperatures required for their stabilization. One such phase is the hidden metallic charge density wave state in 1T-TaS2, whose origin and stability above cryogenic temperatures remain the subject of debate. Here, we demonstrate that this phase can be stabilized at thermal equilibrium by accessing a mixed charge density wave order regime through thermal quenching. Using X-ray high-dynamic-range reciprocal space mapping and scanning tunnelling spectroscopy, we reveal the coexistence of commensurate charge density wave and hidden metallic charge density wave domains up to 210 K. Our findings show that each order parameter breaks basal plane mirror symmetry with different chiral orientations and induces out-of-plane unit cell tripling in the hidden phase. Despite metallic domain walls and a finite density of states, the bulk resistance remains insulating due to charge density wave stacking disorder. Our results establish the hidden state as a thermally stable phase and introduce an alternative mechanism for switchable metallic behaviour in thin flakes of 1T-TaS2 and similar materials with competing phases.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144500765","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}
