The most exciting cutting-edge research submitted from now through December 2024 is eligible for our final selection.

New results on asymptotic state interconversion open the way for novel coherent thermodynamic protocols.

Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond can be used to access the state of optically dark paramagnetic nitrogen defects, which in turn can be used as quantum sensors to extract information about their local environment.

Site-resolved control and detection of rotational states of molecules trapped in an array of optical tweezers is demonstrated, opening up applications in quantum metrology, simulation, and sensing.

The ability to store molecules in reconfigurable optical traps could allow researchers to harness the rich physics of molecules in quantum applications.

A novel quantum algorithm, which exploits the relation between the Lindblad master equation, stochastic differential equations, and Hamiltonian simulations, is proposed to simulate open quantum systems on a quantum computer.

New theoretical work demonstrates how consistent models of effective classical-quantum dynamics emerge in a limit of quantum theory.

An algorithm, based on randomized compilation of the Hamiltonian terms, for high-precision quantum simulations is introduced.
