We introduce and experimentally explore the concept of the non-Gaussian depth of single-photon states with a positive Wigner function. The depth measures the robustness of a single-photon state against optical losses. The directly witnessed quantum non-Gaussianity withstands significant attenuation, exhibiting a depth of 18 dB, while the nonclassicality remains unchanged. Quantum non-Gaussian depth is an experimentally approachable quantity that is much more robust than the negativity of the Wigner function. Furthermore, we use it to reveal significant differences between otherwise strongly nonclassical single-photon sources.

The quadratic cost functions, exemplified by mean-square-error, often exhibit limited robustness and flexibility when confronted with impulsive noise contamination. In contrast, the generalized maximum correntropy (GMC) criterion, serving as a robust nonlinear similarity measure, offers superior performance in such scenarios. In this paper, we develop a recursive constrained adaptive filtering algorithm named recursive generalized maximum correntropy with a forgetting factor (FF-RCGMC).

Background: Video assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (V-CPR) has demonstrated to be efficient in improving CPR quality and patient outcomes, as Emergency Medical Service (EMS) dispatchers can use the video stream of a caller for diagnostic purposes and give instructions in a CPR scenario. However, the new challenges faced by EMS dispatchers during video-guided CPR (V-CPR)-such as analyzing the video stream, providing feedback to the caller, and managing stress-demand innovative solutions. This study explores the feasibility of incorporating an open-source "machine-learning" tool (artificial intelligence - AI), to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy in correctly detecting the actual compression frequency and compression depth in video footage of a simulated CPR.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect using data from two telescopes, the South Pole Telescope and Herschel-SPIRE, covering a large area in the sky.
- They found a strong signal indicating that there is a trispectrum, which is a kind of pattern in the data, but it had contributions from other sources too, like cosmic microwave background lensing and foregrounds.
- By analyzing the data, they couldn't find just the kSZ signal alone, but they set limits on how long the reionization period lasted in the early universe, which helps us understand its history better.

We apply the hybrid projectionless dynamic theory (hybrid PDT) formulation of the elastically collective nonlinear Langevin equation (ECNLE) activated dynamics approach to study dense fluids of sticky spheres interacting with short range attractions. Of special interest is the problem of non-monotonic evolution with short range attraction strength of the elastic modulus ("re-entrancy") at very high packing fractions far beyond the ideal mode coupling theory (MCT) nonergodicity boundary. The dynamic force constraints explicitly treat the bare attractive forces that drive transient physical bond formation, while a projection approximation is employed for the singular hard-sphere potential.

For the most popular method of scan formation in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) based on plane-parallel scanning of the illuminating beam, we present a compact but rigorous K-space description in which the spectral representation is used to describe both the axial and lateral structure of the illuminating/received OCT signals. Along with the majority of descriptions of OCT-image formation, the discussed approach relies on the basic principle of OCT operation, in which ballistic backscattering of the illuminating light is assumed. This single-scattering assumption is the main limitation, whereas in other aspects, the presented approach is rather general.
