Practical private database queries based on a quantum key distribution protocol
Private queries allow a user Alice to learn an element of a database held by
a provider Bob without revealing which element she was interested in, while
limiting her information about the other elements. We propose to implement
private queries based on a quantum key distribution protocol, with changes only
in the classical post-processing of the key. This approach makes our scheme
both easy to implement and loss-tolerant. While unconditionally secure private
queries are known to be impossible, we argue that an interesting degree of
security can be achieved, relying on fundamental physical principles instead of
unverifiable security assumptions in order to protect both user and database.
We think that there is scope for such practical private queries to become
another remarkable application of quantum information in the footsteps of
quantum key distribution.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, new and improved version, clarified claims,

High data rate W-band balanced Schottky diode envelope detector for broadband communications
This article reports on a W-Band (75–110 GHz) Schottky diode based balanced envelope detector in microstrip technology, featuring a transition from WR-10 to microstrip. The manufactured detector provides 20 GHz of input RF bandwidth within the W-band. A video bandwidth between 4 GHz and 6 GHz is achieved for input RF frequencies between 75 GHz and 88 GHz, allowing error free transmission of signals up to 12 Gbit/s

Endoreplication Controls Cell Fate Maintenance
Cell-fate specification is typically thought to precede and determine cell-cycle regulation during differentiation. Here we show that endoreplication, also known as endoreduplication, a specialized cell-cycle variant often associated with cell differentiation but also frequently occurring in malignant cells, plays a role in maintaining cell fate. For our study we have used Arabidopsis trichomes as a model system and have manipulated endoreplication levels via mutants of cell-cycle regulators and overexpression of cell-cycle inhibitors under a trichome-specific promoter. Strikingly, a reduction of endoreplication resulted in reduced trichome numbers and caused trichomes to lose their identity. Live observations of young Arabidopsis leaves revealed that dedifferentiating trichomes re-entered mitosis and were re-integrated into the epidermal pavement-cell layer, acquiring the typical characteristics of the surrounding epidermal cells. Conversely, when we promoted endoreplication in glabrous patterning mutants, trichome fate could be restored, demonstrating that endoreplication is an important determinant of cell identity. Our data lead to a new model of cell-fate control and tissue integrity during development by revealing a cell-fate quality control system at the tissue level
