Open Access

High-impact open access physics from across the disciplines

Physical Review X (PRX) is the American Physical Society's flagship open access physics journal. PRX publishes rigorously peer-reviewed, high-impact research across pure, applied, and interdisciplinary physics, from condensed matter and quantum science to astrophysics and materials science. Fully open access under CC-BY 4.0, PRX highlights breakthrough experiments, theory, observations, and technological advances, welcoming work bridging physics with other fields. Highly selective, PRX ranks among the world's leading open access physics journals, giving researchers free, permanent access to original, high-significance findings shaping physics.

PRX is published by The American Physical Society, a nonprofit membership organization working to advance physics by fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and global community dedicated to science and society.
