Fedele, D. T. Lennon, B. van Straaten, F. Vigneau, L. C. Camenzind, D. M. Zumbühl, G. A. D. Briggs, M. A. Osborne, D. Sejdinovic, and N. Ares Phys. Rev. X 14, 011001 (2024) – Published 4 January 2024 Nominally identical quantum devices can display different current behaviors at the same voltage settings. A machine learning–based analysis reveals hidden features of material imperfections that lead to such behavior.     Featured in Physics Smectic and Soap Bubble Optofluidic Lasers Zala Korenjak and Matjaž Humar Phys. Rev. X 14, 011002 (2024) – Published 5 January 2024 Focus:A Soap Bubble Becomes a Laser Using a soap bubble, researchers have created a laser that could act as a sensitive sensor for environmental parameters including atmospheric pressure.     Measuring Nonlocal Brane Order with Error-Corrected Quantum Gas Microscopes Junhyeok Hur, Wonjun Lee, Kiryang Kwon, SeungJung Huh, Gil Young Cho, and Jae-yoon Choi Phys. Rev. X 14, 011003 (2024) – Published 8 January 2024 An error-correction method for large-scale neutral atom quantum simulators using optical lattices can distinguish correlated particle-hole pairs from uncorrelated holes in the Mott insulator.     Valley-Coherent Quantum Anomalous Hall State in AB-Stacked MoTe2/WSe2 Bilayers Zui Tao, Bowen Shen, Shengwei Jiang, Tingxin Li, Lizhong Li, Liguo Ma, Wenjin Zhao, Jenny Hu, Kateryna Pistunova, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Tony F. Heinz, Kin Fai Mak, and Jie Shan Phys. Rev. X 14, 011004 (2024) – Published 10 January 2024 Optical spectroscopy of a transition metal dichalcogenide moiré semiconductor in the quantum anomalous Hall state reveals a surprising valley-coherent state, suggesting the need for a new theoretical mechanism for this effect.     Dipolar Spin Ice Regime Proximate to an All-In-All-Out Néel Ground State in the Dipolar-Octupolar Pyrochlore Ce2Sn2O7 D. R. Yahne, B. Placke, R. Schäfer, O. Benton, R. Moessner, M. Powell, J. W. Kolis, C. M. Pasco, A. F. May, M. D. Frontzek, E. M. Smith, B. D. Gaulin, S. Calder, and K. A. Ross Phys. Rev. X 14, 011005 (2024) – Published 16 January 2024 A reassessment of the ground state of a quantum spin liquid candidate suggests the state is sensitive to imperceptible change in chemical composition, an insight that could help in tuning the system to exotic, quantum-disordered phases.     Reducing the Instability of an Optical Lattice Clock Using Multiple Atomic Ensembles Xin Zheng, Jonathan Dolde, and Shimon Kolkowitz Phys. Rev. X 14, 011006 (2024) – Published 23 January 2024 A more efficient use of the atoms in a strontium optical lattice atomic clock reduces the measured instability by up to a factor of 2 compared to the standard approach.     Featured in Physics High-Sensitivity ac-Charge Detection with a MHz-Frequency Fluxonium Qubit B.-L. Najera-Santos, R. Rousseau, K. Gerashchenko, H. Patange, A. Riva, M. Villiers, T. Briant, P.-F. Cohadon, A. Heidmann, J. Palomo, M. Rosticher, H. le Sueur, A. Sarlette, W. C. Smith, Z. Leghtas, E.
