A hippocampal ‘sharp-wave sleep’ state that is dissociable from cortical sleep

Through continuous multiday recordings in rats, the authors reveal that hippocampal sharp waves reflect sleep need and define a homeostatically regulated sleep state that enables the hippocampus to discharge sleep need even when the cortex is awake.

Generalization properties of neural network approximations to frustrated magnet ground states

Neural network representations of quantum states are hoped to provide an efficient basis for numerical methods without the need for case-by-case trial wave functions. Here the authors show that limited generalization capacity of such representations is responsible for convergence problems for frustrated systems.

Probing the Kitaev honeycomb model on a neutral-atom quantum computer

Digital quantum simulations of Kitaev’s honeycomb model are realized for two-dimensional fermionic systems using a reconfigurable atom-array processor and used to study the Fermi–Hubbard model on a square lattice.

Observation of constructive interference at the edge of quantum ergodicity

Experimental measurements of high-order out-of-time-order correlators on a superconducting quantum processor show that these correlators remain highly sensitive to the quantum many-body dynamics in quantum computers at long timescales.

Physical activity simultaneously improves working memory and ripple-spindle coupling

After short-term Physical activity (PA), working memory (WM) performance improved. Ripple activity increased with memory load, and ripple to awake-spindle coupling strengthened, suggesting PA boosts WM via hippocampal-thalamocortical dynamics.

Long-lived multilevel coherences and spin-1 dynamics encoded in the rotational states of ultracold molecules

Reducing rotational dephasing is a major challenge in ultracold molecules. Here, the authors demonstrate coherent control of three rotational states in ultracold molecules trapped in magic-wavelength optical tweezers, opening prospects towards quantum applications with higher-dimensional systems.

Many-body quantum sign structures as non-glassy Ising models

The complexity of many-body sign structures is one of the major issues that severely limits the applicability of variational and quantum Monte Carlo algorithms for calculating properties of quantum many-body systems. Here, the authors propose a method to find the sign structure of frustrated quantum spin systems based on the premise that the amplitude and signs of the wave function can be separated and the latter reconstructed using combinatorial optimization.

A quantum-bit encoding converter

A conversion of quantum information between single-photon and cat-state qubits is demonstrated by teleportation using optical hybrid entanglement. The classical limit of conversion is exceeded over the full Bloch sphere, with an average fidelity above 79%.

The atmosphere of Titan in late northern summer from JWST and Keck observations

JWST and Keck II spectral observations of Saturn’s moon Titan reveal methyl (CH₃) as well as non-local thermodynamic equilibrium emission bands of CO and CO₂. Imaging shows clouds in Titan’s northern hemisphere at several epochs, with some appearing to evolve in altitude.

Structural basis for recognition of synaptic vesicle protein 2C by botulinum neurotoxin A

Botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) is considered the most toxic substance known but is also used as a therapeutic drug for a growing number of diseases and conditions; researchers have now obtained a high-resolution crystal structure of the receptor-binding domain of the BoNT/A in complex with the luminal domain of synaptic vesicle protein 2C (SV2C), one of its receptors, allowing the identification of a peptide that can inhibit complex formation.

Towards phase-stabilized Fourier domain mode-locked frequency combs

Fourier domain mode-locked lasers provide coherent, wavelength swept light useful for imaging applications, but the phase relation between frequencies is not understood. Here, experimental and numerical data is presented that suggests a fixed phase relation and comb-like structure of the sweep.
