Shaping the future of quantum networks: Optimal control of flying qubits
The Hong Kong Polytechnic UniversityWith the development of quantum chips, quantum communication is becoming essential for quantum computing and quantum networks. Flying Qubits, quantum information carried by photons, play a vital role in transferring data between nodes. Prof. Guofeng ZHANG, Professor of Department of Applied Mathematics of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University is dedicated to developing precise control methods for flying qubits, aiming to significantly improve the reliability and fidelity of quantum information transfer in future technologies.

Seized Hamas files reveal long-term plan to trigger Israel’s collapse
The Hebrew University of JerusalemBased on seized Hamas documents and an analysis of shifting regional politics, a new study argues that the October 7 attack was not a spontaneous act driven by anger or desperation. Instead, researchers say it was a carefully planned attempt to spark a wider regional war against Israel on multiple fronts. The study describes how Hamas used deception and coordinated with Iran-backed militant groups across the region to exploit Israel’s internal political divisions and what researchers describe as a major failure by Israeli intelligence to anticipate such a large-scale attack.

Revealing the correlation between superfluid density and transition temperature in an infinite-layer nickelate superconductor
Science China PressBy imaging the superfluid density and superconducting transition temperature in an infinite-layer superconductor, researchers revealed a strong correlation between the two quantities. This correlation is quantitatively similar to that reported in cuprate superconductors, hinting at a close connection between the superconductivity of infinite-layer nickelates and that of cuprates.
