“Girls don’t like physics” is a common refrain, but this perception has not always existed, nor does it occur everywhere in the world today. We call on our readers to fight such unfounded stereotypes.
The large gender imbalance amongst physicists is often misattributed to a lack of interest in physics and maths amongst girls and women. Physicist Jessica Wade uses her experience of public engagement and advocacy to suggest actions that physicists at different career stages can take to tackle gender stereotypes and build a better physics community.
Will quantum computers someday give super-polynomial speedups for machine learning on classical data? Answering this question is challenging. Ewin Tang explains how dequantizing algorithms can uncover when there is no quantum speedup and perhaps help explore analogies between quantum and classical linear algebra.
In the 25 years since the first quantum teleportation experiments, researchers have been pushing the limits both in terms of the distances and the complexity of the quantum states involved.
The discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos and the first hints of coincident electromagnetic and neutrino emissions opened new opportunities in multi-messenger astronomy. We review theoretical expectations of neutrino emission from transient astrophysical sources and the current and upcoming experimental landscape.
This Expert Recommendation describes how high conversion efficiency in high-order harmonic generation can be achieved over a large range of pressures and medium lengths, following a hyperbolic equation, and provides design guidance for future high-flux extreme ultraviolet sources.
In this Perspective on the physics of particle generation in the respiratory tract, fate in the air upon exhalation and the physics of inhalation, the authors conclude that the general understanding of the entire process is rudimentary, and many open questions remain.
