Given the obvious benefits, the trend is encouraging. Research Highlights Top Optomechanics: Cool levitation | Excitonics: Weak lasing | Two-dimensional materials: Enhanced nonlinearity | Light-matter coupling: Domain motion by light | Photon counting microscopy: Improved time resolution News and Views Top Quantum simulation: Choose your own interaction   pp285 - 287 Jeff Thompson and Manuel Endres doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.62 Photonic crystal structures enable the controlled creation of long-range atomic interactions and may be a powerful tool for quantum simulation when combined with laser-cooled atoms. See also: Article by González-Tudela et al. | Article by Douglas et al. Nonlinear optics: Symmetry breaking in laser cavities   pp287 - 289 Boris A. Malomed doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.66 The ability to invoke and switch between asymmetric lasing states in two coupled cavities built in a nonlinear photonic crystal creates opportunities for a new form of optical memory. See also: Letter by Hamel et al. Nonlinear optics: Nonlinear virtues of multimode fibre   pp289 - 291 Antonio Picozzi, Guy Millot and Stefan Wabnitz doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.67 The finding that multimode optical fibres support a rich and complex mix of spatial and temporal nonlinear phenomena could yield a plethora of promising applications. See also: Letter by Wright et al. Diffractive optics: Tuning colour in flexible silicon   p291 Rachel Won doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.70 Synchrotrons: Taiwan unveils new synchrotron   pp292 - 293 Noriaki Horiuchi doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.68 Competitive activities around the globe to develop the world's brightest synchrotron light source have accelerated in recent years. Taiwanese scientists now aspire to be at the top of the list with the recently constructed Taiwan Photon Source.

Spontaneous mirror-symmetry breaking in coupled photonic-crystal nanolasers   pp311 - 315 Philippe Hamel, Samir Haddadi, Fabrice Raineri, Paul Monnier, Gregoire Beaudoin et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.65 The observation of symmetry breaking in a coupled nanolaser system could yield new types of switchable devices. See also: News and Views by Malomed Continuous-variable entanglement on a chip   pp316 - 319 Genta Masada, Kazunori Miyata, Alberto Politi, Toshikazu Hashimoto, Jeremy L. O'Brien et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.42 The capabilities of continuous variable (CV) quantum technology — homodyne detection and characterization of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen entangled light — are demonstrated by sending CV light at 860 nm to optical circuits on a chip. Articles Top Subwavelength vacuum lattices and atom–atom interactions in two-dimensional photonic crystals   pp320 - 325 A. González-Tudela, C.-L. Hung, D. E. Chang, J. I. Cirac and H. J. Kimble doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.54 Novel trapping mechanisms for ultracold atoms in specially engineered two-dimensional photonic crystals are proposed. The photonic crystal waveguides provide versatile means for creating strongly long-range atom–atom interactions mediated by photons. See also: News and Views by Thompson & Endres Quantum many-body models with cold atoms coupled to photonic crystals   pp326 - 331 J. S. Douglas, H. Habibian, C.-L. Hung, A. V. Gorshkov, H. J. Kimble et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.57 Researchers propose that a cold atom in a one-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide can form a cavity. This system should allow interaction with other atoms within the effective cavity length. See also: News and Views by Thompson & Endres Raman quantum memory of photonic polarized entanglement   pp332 - 338 Dong-Sheng Ding, Wei Zhang, Zhi-Yuan Zhou, Shuai Shi, Bao-Sen Shi et al. doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.43 A quantum memory based on a Raman scheme is implemented for photonic qubits encoded in the path and polarization of single photons. The performance is quantified before and after storage in cold atomic ensembles and the storage bandwidth is ∼140 MHz. Single-beam spectrally controlled two-dimensional Raman spectroscopy   pp339 - 343 Hadas Frostig, Tim Bayer, Nirit Dudovich, Yonina C. Eldar and Yaron Silberberg doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.64 2D Raman spectroscopy, based on fifth-order optical nonlinearity, is performed with a single beam of shaped fs optical pulses. The scheme inherently eliminates the cascade signal, making the vibrational coupling information easy to extract.
