EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Exact formulas to describe particle and heat transport in generic noninteracting fermionic systems undergoing continuous monitoring and driven by biased reservoirs show the possibility to achieve measurement-induced power or cooling.
João Ferreira et al.
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 136301 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
A new protocol shows promise for classifying non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall states–being explored for quantum computation–using experimental shot-noise techniques.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION
Nonreciprocal interactions in large ecosystems can give rise to a transition to chaos controlled by the ratio of surviving species to surviving resources.
Emmy Blumenthal, Jason W. Rocks, and Pankaj Mehta
Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 127401 (2024)
EDITORS' SUGGESTION
The spectroscopic data of hundreds of atoms can now be computed on a single workstation using the new Lanczos method in full-frequency GW calculations.
