Summing to uncertainty: On the necessity of additivity in deriving the Born rule

Jiaxuan Zhang

Phys. Rev. A 114, 042208 (2026) - Published 13 October, 2026

The author shows that two postulates commonly employed in derivations of the Born rule, additivity and noncontextuality, are not equivalent and thus cannot be unified into a single postulate. Furthermore, additivity is found to be crucial in several alternative derivations of the Born rule, and none of the proposed equivalent assumptions in these works can serve as a substitute for it.

Ghost imaging with zero photons

Meixue Chen, Yiqi Song, Yu Gu, Huafan Zhang, Huaibin Zheng, Yuchen He, Hui Chen, Zhuo Xu, Jianbin Liu, Yu Zhou, and Fuli Li

Phys. Rev. A 114, 043723 (2026) - Published 15 October, 2026

A technique known as ghost imaging has been adapted so that an object can be imaged by discarding all photons that interact with it.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Temperature-enhanced quantum sensing for the cutoff frequency of Ohmic-family environments

Ji-Bing Yuan, Ya-Ju Song, Shi-Qing Tang, Xin-Wen Wang, and Le-Man Kuang

Phys. Rev. A 114, 042407 (2026) - Published 6 October, 2026

The authors examine the performance of a single dephasing qubit probing the cutoff frequency of Ohmic-family environments across varying temperatures and coupling strengths. They find that elevated temperatures accelerate decoherence to shorten the optimal measurement time, demonstrating that thermal noise can serve as a resource to improve sensing precision by nearly two orders of magnitude compared to zero-temperature conditions for certain weakly coupled environments.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Quantum annealing approach to the minimum distance problem of quantum codes

Refaat Ismail, Ashish Kakkar, and Anatoly Dymarsky

Phys. Rev. A 114, 042610 (2026) - Published 9 October, 2026

The authors reformulate the NP-hard problem of finding a quantum stabilizer code’s minimum distance into a Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) framework compatible with classical, quantum, and hybrid solvers. Testing the approach with quantum annealing and hybrid optimization, they identify hardware connectivity and embedding as the main limitations of current implementations.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Magnon-mediated motional entanglement of levitated magnetic microspheres

Lihua Wang, Peiran Yin, and Pu Huang

Phys. Rev. A 114, 042611 (2026) - Published 13 October, 2026

The authors propose a new scheme for creating entanglement between the center-of-mass motions of two microspheres that does not require external optical or microwave cavities. By applying a strong, uniform magnetic field, spin waves dominate, and by applying oscillating gradient fields, translational displacements of the spheres change the magnon energies, yielding a coupling between magnons and translational degrees of freedom.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Dissipative Kerr soliton self-balancing from Kerr-induced synchronization

Pradyoth Shandilya, Kartik Srinivasan, Curtis Menyuk, and Grégory Moille

Phys. Rev. A 114, 043515 (2026) - Published 13 October, 2026

The authors demonstrate how locking an on-chip frequency comb to a reference laser induces a mechanism that redistributes energy across the spectrum of comb lines. By tapping into this energy shift, they show how to boost weak high-frequency signals, offering a way to stabilize compact precision microcombs.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Coherent Bose-Einstein condensation with fluctuating density

L. Salasnich, A. Crisanti, A. Sarracino, and M. Zannetti

Phys. Rev. A 114, 043704 (2026) - Published 5 October, 2026

The authors formulate Bose-Einstein condensation in the grand canonical ensemble using a phase-density representation where a well-defined phase coexists with macroscopic density fluctuations. They show that the squared average order parameter accounts for only a $π / 4$ fraction of the condensate. The missing contribution comes from amplitude fluctuations. An interferometric measurement scheme is proposed to experimentally test this prediction.

Optimal quantum Feshbach engines

Aaron Wandhammer, Vincent Hardel, Paul-Antoine Hervieux, and Giovanni Manfredi

Phys. Rev. A 114, L040201 (2026) - Published 14 October, 2026

A trapped Bose–Einstein condensate is steered through fast, stable cycles by mapping its quantum dynamics onto an effective classical process, enabling systematic optimization of each stroke of the cycle. This approach yields robust quantum engines that operate efficiently in finite time.

LETTER

Margenau-Hill distribution as a necessary and sufficient signature of measurement incompatibility

Partha Patra and A. K. Pan

Phys. Rev. A 114, L040202 (2026) - Published 21 October, 2026

By deriving a general joint measurability condition for any pair of dichotomic observables in arbitrary finite dimension, the authors established an operational connection between joint measurability and positivity of quasiprobability in arbitrary finite dimension. The authors also extend the formulation to $n$ observables and propose a quantum-switch-inspired interferometric scheme enabling the experimental certification of measurement incompatibility.

Direct characterization of classical dephasing noise for a qubit

Yuan-De Jin, Zheng-Fei Ye, and Wen-Long Ma

Phys. Rev. A 114, L040401 (2026) - Published 9 October, 2026

The authors propose a simple method to directly characterize classical stochastic noise causing qubit dephasing through repetitive Ramsey interferometry measurements (RIMs) on the qubit. They demonstrate that each RIM with a short evolution time and suitably chosen control pulses directly samples the noise field, and the $n$ -point correlations of the RIM outcomes are proportional to the $n$ -point correlation functions of the noise processes.

LETTER

Control of multipartite entanglement through anisotropy against thermal noise

Samudra Sur and Saikat Sur

Phys. Rev. A 114, L040402 (2026) - Published 22 October, 2026

This Letter shows that the robustness of multipartite entanglement required for quantum computing platforms can be protected against thermal noise by tuning the interaction anisotropy in many-body systems. Focusing on both generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and generalized $W$ states, this work reveals distinct survival regions of multipartite entanglement for suitable ranges of anisotropy.

Stochastic multipath routing for high-throughput entanglement distribution in quantum repeater networks

Ankit Mishra and Kang Hao Cheong

Phys. Rev. A 114, L040601 (2026) - Published 15 October, 2026

The authors show that balancing shorter and longer routes through stochastic path selection can improve entanglement distribution in quantum repeater networks. An intermediate routing bias yields higher throughput than consistently favoring either short or long paths across a broad range of network conditions.

Magnetic atoms with a large electric dipole moment

J. Seifert, S. C. Wright, B. G. Sartakov, G. Valtolina, and G. Meijer

Phys. Rev. A 114, L040801 (2026) - Published 15 October, 2026

The authors experimentally demonstrate an electric dipole moment exceeding 1 Debye in a long-lived excited state of dysprosium. Using microwave and optical Stark spectroscopy, they characterize a Stark-coupled opposite-parity doublet, establishing a route toward a doubly polar quantum gas of atoms.

Vortex photoelectron holography in strong-field tunneling ionization

Yongkun Chen, Oleg I. Tolstikhin, Toru Morishita, Yueming Zhou, and Peixiang Lu

Phys. Rev. A 114, L041101 (2026) - Published 14 October, 2026

The authors theoretically demonstrate vortex photoelectron holography in strong-field tunneling ionization, in which the vortex photoelectron is generated via tunneling ionization of an atom in a state with a nonzero magnetic quantum number. They show that the phase of the elastic scattering amplitude for the vortex electron–atom interaction can be extracted from the hologram.

Pair-condensation peak in radio-frequency dimer-projection spectroscopy of a unitary Fermi gas

Zhixiu Peng and Zhenhua Yu

Phys. Rev. A 114, L041301 (2026) - Published 5 October, 2026

The authors develop a theory of radio-frequency dimer-projection spectroscopy in a unitary Fermi gas and show that the frequency-resolved spectrum exhibits a narrow peak on top of a broad continuum. The narrow peak arises from the coherent projection of condensed Cooper pairs onto a final-state dimer.

LETTER

Drag-induced skin effect in a Bose-Fermi mixture

Wenjie Liu, Yee Sin Ang, Ching Hua Lee, and Yi Qin

Phys. Rev. A 114, L041302 (2026) - Published 5 October, 2026

The authors demonstrate a drag-induced skin effect in a Bose-Fermi mixture, where interactions transfer non-Hermitian skin localization from one particle species to another. The results reveal an interaction-mediated mechanism for generating correlated non-Hermitian dynamics in quantum mixtures.
