All optical operation of a superconducting photonic interface.

Quantum photonic processing via electro-optic components typically requires electronic links across different operation environments, especially when interfacing cryogenic components such as superconducting single photon detectors with room-temperature control and readout electronics. However, readout and driving electronics can introduce detrimental parasitic effects. Here we show an all-optical control and readout of a superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD), completely electrically decoupled from room temperature electronics.

From inoperable to back to life: a case report of successfully treated obstructive right ventricular primary cardiac lymphoma.

Background: Cardiac masses include various tumourous and non-tumourous lesions. Primary cardiac tumours are very rare and most commonly benign. Primary cardiac lymphomas (PCL) account for 1-2% of malignant primary cardiac tumours.

Characterisation of width-dependent diffusion dynamics in rubidium-exchanged KTP waveguides.

Integrated χ devices are a widespread tool for the generation and manipulation of light fields, since they exhibit high efficiency, a small footprint and the ability to interface them with fibre networks. Surprisingly, some commonly used material substrates are not yet fully understood, in particular potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP). A thorough understanding of the fabrication process of waveguides in this material and analysis of their properties is crucial for the realization and the engineering of high efficiency devices for quantum applications.

Language Games and Social Cognition: Revisiting Bruner.

This paper discusses the notion of language games as cultural practices in children's early linguistic and socio-cognitive development. First, we trace the emergence of this concept in Jerome Bruner's experimental and theoretical work at Oxford University in the 1960s, work that was informed by the thinking of Wittgenstein and Austin, amongst others. Second, we provide a systematic historical account of how Bruner has influenced more recent research traditions in developmental psychology, especially in the field of social cognition.

Memory, Narrative, and the Consequences.

Drawing on papers from three different areas - evolutionary psychology, developmental psychology, sociolinguistics analysis - this commentary states that there is by now an empirically grounded and theoretically reflected memory research that has begun to break with the traditional individual-centric orientation of the memory sciences. This break, it is argued, is the consequence of a new interest in the dialectics between memory and language, between social (or collective or collaborative) remembering and narrative. On this view, memory is taken less as a substance and more as a set of practices, of intersubjective and interpretive acts of a remembering subject.
