As UK politics turns both right and left, how do we get degrowth onto the agenda?
"Neither the embryonic Your Party, nor even the Green Party, provide evidence that their approach, extant or emerging, at this point in time, is adequate to the scale of the existential crisis facing humanity. This could change, and it should be a focus of the small degrowth movement in these islands "

By Mark H Burton In the series, Prospects for Degrowth The last few weeks have seen two opposing developments in British politics, both in the context of the Starmer Labour government and its failu…

Multi-Resolution Codebook Design and Multiuser Interference Management for Discrete XL-RIS-Aided Near-Field MIMO Systems
Extremely large-scale reconfigurable intelligent surface (XL-RIS) can effectively overcome severe fading and provide higher communication performance. However, current research on XL-RIS overlooks the discrete phase-shift characteristics of RIS in practical systems, which will result in significant performance degradation.In this paper, we investigate near-field communication schemes assisted by XL-RIS with discrete phase shifts.Specifically, we propose a hierarchical beam training method to ob…

Harnessing optical disorder for Bell inequalities violation
Bell inequalities are a cornerstone of quantum physics. By carefully selecting measurement bases (typically polarization), their violation certifies quantum entanglement. Such measurements are disrupted by the presence of optical disorder in propagation paths, including polarization or spatial mode mixing in fibers and through free-space turbulence. Here, we demonstrate that disorder can instead be exploited as a resource to certify entanglement via a Bell inequality test. In our experiment, on…
