ECHO: Ego-Centric modeling of Human-Object interactions
Modeling human-object interactions (HOI) from an egocentric perspective is a largely unexplored yet important problem due to the increasing adoption of wearable devices, such as smart glasses and watches. We investigate how much information about interaction can be recovered from only head and wrists tracking. Our answer is ECHO (Ego-Centric modeling of Human-Object interactions), which, for the first time, proposes a unified framework to recover three modalities: human pose, object motion, and…

Electrical Readout of Spin Environments in Diamond for Quantum Sensing
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond are a key platform for quantum sensing and quantum information, combining long coherence times with controllable spin-spin interactions. Most of current quantum algorithms rely on optical access, which limit device integration and applicability in opaque or miniaturized settings. Here we demonstrate an all-electrical approach, photocurrent double electron-electron resonance (PC-DEER), permitting exploiting local dipolar interactions between individual NV…

"AfD-Mann in Russland bei Gründung von Nazi-Bündnis" - Robert #Risch wollte anonym bleiben .
Warum nur will die #AfD Deutschland schaden, es vielleicht sogar zerstören. Woher diese desktruktive Wut? Die AfD will Deutschland und die EU klein machen.
Warum das so viele ihrer WählerInnen auch wol…

Higher-order Chern-Simons extensions to QED in $2+1$ dimensions
In this work, we investigate radiative corrections in the higher-order extension of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons model coupled to standard spinor matter in $2+1$ dimensions. We begin analyzing the higher-order gauge sector, where we find the modes and the polarizations vectors associated to a massive photon and ghost field. The higher-order gauge model is canonically quantized and as expected the resulting algebra of creation and annihilation operators corresponds to an indefinite metric in Hilbert…

Data Quality Taxonomy for Data Monetization
This chapter presents a comprehensive taxonomy for assessing data quality in the context of data monetisation, developed through a systematic literature review. Organising over one hundred metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) into four subclusters (Fundamental, Contextual, Resolution, and Specialised) within the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) framework, the taxonomy integrates both universal and domain-specific quality dimensions. By positioning data quality as a strategic connector across t…

On the Implementation Security of Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution using Optical Injection Locking
Twin-Field Quantum Key Distribution (TF-QKD) has emerged as a leading quantum communication protocol, enabling secure key distribution over unprecedented distances by utilising coherent interference of quantum states. Optical Injection Locking (OIL) architectures have been used to simplify the precise phase and frequency stabilisation required by TF-QKD. In this work, we systematically analyse potential side-channels in OIL-based TF-QKD that can be introduced through the various optical degrees…

Happy Petrov Day to those who celebrate. On September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov made the correct decision to not trust a computer.

The early warning system at command center Serpukhov-15, loudly alerting of a nuclear attack from the United States, was of course modern and up-to-date. Stanislav Petrov was in charge, working his second shift in place of a colleague who was ill.

Many officers facing the same situation would have called their superiors to alert them of the need f…
