Nature Energy: Call for Papers
Launching in January 2016, Nature Energy is now open for submissions and inviting high-quality research from across the natural and social sciences. The journal will be dedicated to exploring all aspects of the on-going discussion of energy provision; from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies.
Submit your next research paper to the journal. | | | |

Guidestar-assisted wavefront-shaping methods for focusing light into biological tissue pp563 - 571 Roarke Horstmeyer, Haowen Ruan and Changhuei Yang doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.140 Optical scattering limits the ability to image or focus beneath one millimetre of tissue in biomedical optics. This Review summarizes recently developed 'guidestar' mechanisms that provide feedback for intra-tissue focusing.

Ab initio quantum-enhanced optical phase estimation using real-time feedback control pp577 - 581 Adriano A. Berni, Tobias Gehring, Bo M. Nielsen, Vitus Händchen, Matteo G. A. Paris & Ulrik L. Andersen doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.139 Using squeezed states of light combined with a real-time Bayesian adaptive estimation algorithm, deterministic phase estimation with a precision beyond the quantum shot noise limit is demonstrated without any prior knowledge of the phase's value.

Mode-locked dark pulse Kerr combs in normal-dispersion microresonators pp594 - 600 Xiaoxiao Xue, Yi Xuan, Yang Liu, Pei-Hsun Wang, Steven Chen, Jian Wang, Dan E. Leaird, Minghao Qi & Andrew M. Weiner doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.137 Dark pulse combs are formed in normal-dispersion microresonators with mode-interaction-assisted excitation, increasing freedom in microresonator design and potentially extending Kerr comb generation into the visible wavelength regime.

Boson sampling for molecular vibronic spectra pp615 - 620 Joonsuk Huh, Gian Giacomo Guerreschi, Borja Peropadre, Jarrod R. McClean and Alán Aspuru-Guzik doi:10.1038/nphoton.2015.153 A quantum simulation scheme is proposed for molecular vibronic spectra, a problem for which no efficient classical algorithm is currently known. The simulation is efficiently performed on a boson sampling machine simply by modifying the input state.
