A team led by UNSW quantum engineers has created a “Schrödinger’s cat” – a famous quantum thought experiment – inside a silicon chip.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University used mathematical tools from game theory to show that in certain situations, allowing platforms to retain decision-making power over the collection and commercialization of their users’ data can enhance overall welfare. The study was conducted by Prof. Yaron Yehezkel from the Coller School of Management at Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with Prof. Sarit Markovich from Northwestern University in Illinois.

Researchers at Rice University have uncovered new insights into the evolution of bird behavior, revealing why certain mating systems persist while others disappear over time.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory joined forces with EPB of Chattanooga and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to demonstrate the first transmission of an entangled quantum signal using multiple wavelength channels and automatic polarization stabilization over a commercial network with no downtime.

The successful trial of this innovation marks another step toward the eventual creation of a quantum internet that could prove to be more capable and secure than existing networks.

A research team coordinated by the Department of Physics was able to work on the powerful computers of Google's Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab to conduct a study on confinement in lattice gauge theory. The results of the study have been published in Nature Physics

The January 2025 nTIDE highlights stable disability employment rates over 15 months, with modest recent gains amid historically high levels.
