Which Is Worse, Trump or Harvard?
Harvard doesn't figure in many lists of 'party schools' in America. The Cambridge, Mass., weather doesn't facilitate the kind of sun-drenched Bacchanalia associated with some of the nation's academically relaxed institutions, and the Ivy League university seems to demand minimum scholastic standards before students advance to weekends of bongs and booze. But according to a new report in the Journal, there is one respect in which Harvard is the top 'party' school. It is the favorite academic institution of the Chinese Communist Party.

Quantum Entanglement Technology Market Research Report 2025: Quantum Entanglement Tech Enters Commercial Phase with Early Adoption in Cryptography and Simulation - Forecasts to 2035
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2025-- The 'Quantum Entanglement Technology Market - A Global and Regional Analysis: Focus on Application, Product, and Region - Analysis and Forecast, 2025-2035" report has been added to offering. The Global Quantum Entanglement Technology Market is witnessing significant advancements spurred by breakthroughs in quantum physics, surging public and private R&D funding, and collaborations among academia, governments, and major tech companies. By 2024, practical quantum applications are emerging in fields like cryptography, secure communications, and specialized computing tasks such as simulations of complex molecules or optimization challenges. These early implementations rely on entanglement-based protocols to enable ultra-fast data processing and near-unbreakable security. By 2035, enhanced quantum hardware and more sophisticated algorithms are projected to unlock larger-scale quantum computing and robust quantum networks capable of distributing entangled states across vast distances. This transformation is anticipated to open entirely new industries around quantum communications, computing-as-a-service, and next-generation cybersecurity frameworks. As leading nations fund ambitious quantum initiatives, advancements in qubit scalability, quantum error correction, and stable entangled photon generation will accelerate. Consequently, the Global Quantum Entanglement Technology Market is poised for robust expansion over the next decade, reshaping how data is processed, transmitted, and protected. Trends in the Market A prominent trend is the integration of quantum entanglement with classical infrastructure, enabling hybrid networks for secure key distribution and advanced data processing. Tech companies and telecom providers collaborate on quantum-safe solutions, weaving entangled photons into existing broadband frameworks for robust encryption. This bridging of classical and quantum systems not only eases the path to adoption but also paves the way for near-term commercial applications, giving businesses a stepping stone toward full-scale quantum communication and computing platforms. Drivers in the Market The imperative for enhanced cybersecurity is a major driver of quantum entanglement innovation. Classical cryptographic methods become vulnerable as quantum computation scales, prompting governments and enterprises to adopt quantum-safe solutions. Entanglement-based quantum key distribution offers theoretically unbreakable encryption, protecting sensitive communications in financial transactions, defense systems, and critical infrastructure. This pressing security need incentivizes R&D in quantum networks, cryptography algorithms, and user-friendly integration tools. Restraints in the Market Technical complexities and high costs present a significant barrier to broader quantum entanglement adoption. Maintaining qubit coherence and generating stable entangled states require specialized environments (ultra-cold temperatures, vacuum systems, or advanced photonic setups). Such conditions demand costly infrastructure and a limited talent pool of quantum specialists. Consequently, smaller enterprises may hesitate to invest, awaiting streamlined, lower-cost hardware and cloud-based services that reduce entry hurdles. Opportunities in the Market Scalable quantum networks hold substantial opportunity. As quantum repeaters and entanglement-swapping protocols become more mature, global quantum communication grids could emerge, interlinking data centers, research labs, and secure government facilities. Suppliers of quantum networking hardware (e.g., entangled-photon generators, repeaters) and software (e.g., cryptographic layers, entanglement management tools) stand to benefit from this shift. Beyond secure communication, these networks could enable distributed quantum computing tasks and advanced sensor arrays, unlocking novel revenue streams and technological breakthroughs.

RAPID Celebrates Five Years of Surveys
When the RAPID Survey Project began in April 2020, everyone involved thought it would be a short-lived, ad hoc undertaking collecting information from families around the country to provide a real-time chronicle of what people across the U.S. were living through. RAPID initially was an acronym for 'Rapid Assessment of Pandemic Impacts on Development.' 'Our goal was to bear witness to what households with young children were experiencing during a time when nobody knew what to expect,' says RAPID founder Philip Fisher, faculty director of the Stanford Center on Early Education. 'We developed a plan that allowed us to get data on a very frequent basis from a large number of families around the country, which we felt was necessary to document things that were so volatile at the time.' extreme weatherParents and child care providers report spending less time outside with children and suffering health and economic harm from extreme weather. Parents and child care providers report spending less time outside with children and suffering health and economic harm from extreme weather. Now celebrating its fifth anniversary, RAPID is still chronicling the well-being and needs of families and child care providers throughout the country with surveys that ask parents and providers about their economic resources, stress levels, ability to use healthcare and child care, plus questions on specific areas of interest such as screen time or the effects of extreme weather. So far, RAPID has sent out 169 family surveys, gathering data from 60,000 parents of young children, and 122 workforce surveys that have been completed by more than 13,000 providers. Originally sent weekly, the surveys now go out monthly to participants who respond via smartphone, tablet or computer. In the state of California alone, the survey is available in eight languages. Respondents receive at least $5 for their participation. A parallel national survey that goes to the early care and education workforce has been running for four years, asking additional questions about workplace conditions, workforce compensation and other issues relevant to the early care workforce. In addition to the national surveys, RAPID sends state-based and local surveys called Community Voices. More than 60,000 parents and 15,000 providers have responded to these surveys. The result is one-of-a-kind research that is vetted for accuracy by a research advisory group, then shared in a monthly fact sheet that's available to policymakers, researchers, members of the press and the survey participants themselves. The surveys are posted on RAPID's website, newsletter and social media channels. Academia historically has relied on scientific journals to disseminate information, relying on peer reviews and rounds of editing that can take years. What makes the RAPID surveys unique is the priority of disseminating results quickly in a format that is accessible and usable, so stakeholders have a real-time view of critical issues. Though the pandemic has abated, Fisher says RAPID will continue to monitor the significant issues that affect young children and those who care about them. With many federal early childhood programs threatened with funding cuts, timely, actionable information is more crucial than ever. 'You can expect us to be around for at least a few more years,' Fisher says. 'And unless things turn around soon, the need for what we're doing is just going to increase.'
