Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Loveless as the remediation of Mikhail Bulgakov’s The heart of a dog. Towards the question of cultural memory by Beata Waligórska-Olejniczak

“…Consequently, the author is not interested in treating Zvyagintsev’s text as the illustration of Bulgakov’s plot, but rather in discussing certain topics which are deposited in Russian literature and constantly reused and reinterpreted, creating the framework for communication across ‘the abyss of time’. The analogies between the selected texts are sought in the area of their structure, some thematic overlapping, the authors’ approach to the issue of the authoritarian ideology and the role of technology as well as in exploring the function of space as one of the narrative mechanisms, in particular in the context of the category of home and anti-home. …”

Surrogate-guided optimization in quantum networks by Luise Prielinger, Álvaro G. Iñesta, Gayane Vardoyan

“…We introduce a more efficient computational framework that employs machine learning models as surrogates for the objective function. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by applying it to three well-known optimization problems in quantum networking: allocating quantum memory across multiple nodes, tuning an experimental parameter in every physical link of a quantum entanglement switch, and finding effective protocol configurations in a large asymmetric quantum network. …”
