text: This thesis examines how geometry and topology intersect in the representation,
transformation, and analysis of complex shapes. It considers how continuous manifolds
relate to their discrete analogues, how topological structures evolve in persistence
vineyards, and how tools from topological data analysis can illuminate problems
in mathematical physics. Central to this exploration is the question of how structure,
both geometric and topological, persists or changes under approximation, sampling,
or deformation. The work develops new approaches to skeletal and grid-based representations
of surfaces, reveals the full expressive capacity of persistence vineyards, and
applies topological methods to the longstanding problem of equilibria in electrostatic
fields. These threads braid together into a broader understanding of how topology
and geometry inform one another across theory, computation, and application.

text: 'In this work, we introduce and study what we believe is an intriguing and,
to the best of our knowledge, previously unknown connection between two areas
in computational topology, topological data analysis (TDA) and knot theory. Given
a function from a topological space to $\mathbb{R}$, TDA provides tools to simplify
and study the importance of topological features: in particular, the $l^{th}$-dimensional
persistence diagram encodes the $l$-homology in the sublevel set as the function
value increases as a set of points in the plane. Given a continuous one-parameter
family of such functions, we can combine the persistence diagrams into an object
known as a vineyard, which track the evolution of points in the persistence diagram.
If we further restrict that family of functions to be periodic, we identify the
two ends of the vineyard, yielding a closed vineyard. This allows the study of
monodromy, which in this context means that following the family of functions
for a period permutes the set of points in a non-trivial way. In this work, given
a link and value $l$, we construct a topological space and periodic family of
functions such that the closed $l$-vineyard contains this link. This shows that
vineyards are topologically as rich as one could possibly hope. Importantly, it
has at least two immediate consequences: First, monodromy of any periodicity can
occur in a $l$-vineyard, answering a variant of a question by [Arya et al 2024].
To exhibit this, we also reformulate monodromy in a more geometric way, which
may be of interest in itself. Second, distinguishing vineyards is likely to be
difficult given the known difficulty of knot and link recognition, which have
strong connections to many NP-hard problems.'

text: Quantum control of the many-body wavefunction is a central challenge in quantum
materials research, as it could yield a precise control knob to manipulate emergent
phenomena. Floquet engineering, the coherent dressing of quantum states with periodic
non-resonant optical fields, has become an important strategy for quantum control.
Most applications to solid-state systems have targeted weakly interacting or single-ion
states, leaving the manipulation of many-body wavefunctions largely unexplored.
Here we use Floquet engineering to achieve quantum control of a strongly correlated
Hubbard exciton in the one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3. A non-resonant
mid-infrared optical field coherently dresses the exciton wavefunction, driving
its rotation between bright and dark states. We use resonant third-harmonic generation
to quantify ultrafast π/2 rotations on the Bloch sphere spanned by these exciton
states. Our work advances the quest towards programmable control of correlated
states and exciton-based quantum sensing.

text: "The initial–final mass relation (IFMR) links a star’s birth mass to the mass
of its white dwarf (WD) remnant, providing key constraints on stellar evolution.
Open clusters offer the most straightforward way to empirically determine the
IFMR, as their well-defined ages allow for direct progenitor lifetime estimates.
We construct the most comprehensive open cluster WD IFMR to date by combining
new spectroscopy of 22 WDs with an extensive literature review of WDs with strong
cluster associations. To minimize systematics, we restrict our analysis to spectroscopically
confirmed hydrogen-atmosphere (DA) WDs consistent with single-stellar origins.
We separately analyze a subset with reliable Gaia-based astrometric membership
assessments, as well as a full sample that adds WDs with strong cluster associations
whose membership cannot be reliably assessed with Gaia. The Gaia-based sample
includes 69 spectroscopically confirmed DA WDs, more than doubling the sample
size of previous Gaia-based open cluster IFMRs. The full sample, which includes
53 additional literature WDs,\r\nincreases the total number of cluster WDs by
over 50% relative to earlier works. We provide functional forms for both the Gaia-based
and full-sample IFMRs. The Gaia-based result useful for Mi � 2.67 M⊙ is Mf = [0.179
0.100H (Mi 3.84 M )] × (Mi 3.84 M ) + 0.628 M , where H(x) is the Heaviside step
function. Comparing our IFMR to recent literature, we identify significant deviations
from best-fit IFMRs derived from both Gaia-based volume-limited samples of field
WDs and double WD binaries, with the largest discrepancy occurring for initial
masses of about 5 M⊙."

text: 'Recent research in nanophotonics for scintillation-based imaging has demonstrated
promising improvements in scintillator performance. In parallel, advances in nanophotonics
have enabled wavefront control through metasurfaces, a capability that has transformed
fields such as microscopy by allowing tailored control of optical propagation.
This naturally raises the following question, which we address in this perspective:
can wavefront-control strategies be leveraged to improve scintillation-based imaging?
To answer this question, we explore nanophotonic- and metasurface-enabled wavefront
control in scintillators to mitigate image blurring arising from their intrinsically
diffuse light emission. While depth-of-field extension in scintillation faces
fundamental limitations absent in microscopy, this approach reveals promising
avenues, including stacked scintillators, selective spatial-frequency enhancement,
and X-ray energy-dependent imaging. These results clarify the key distinctions
in adapting wavefront engineering to scintillation and its potential to enable
tailored detection strategies.'

text: We provide a theoretical framework to describe the dynamics of a free-electron
beam interacting with quantized bound systems in arbitrary electromagnetic environments.
This expands the quantum optics toolbox to incorporate free-electron beams for
applications in highly tunable quantum control, imaging, and spectroscopy at the
nanoscale. The framework recovers previously studied results and shows that electromagnetic
environments can amplify the intrinsically weak coupling between a free-electron
and a bound electron to reach previously inaccessible interaction regimes. We
leverage this enhanced coupling for experimentally feasible protocols in coherent
qubit control and towards the nondestructive readout and projective control of
the electron beam's quantum-number statistics. Our framework is broadly applicable
to microwave-frequency qubits, optical nanophotonics, cavity quantum electrodynamics,
and emerging platforms at the interface of electron microscopy and quantum information.

text: Polarization-resolved control and measurement of the optical field are essential
for a wide range of photonic systems, including coherent communication, polarimetric
sensing, and quantum information processing. We present a photonic integrated
circuit that enables the generation and analysis of arbitrary polarization states.
The device provides reconfigurable access to the full polarization degree of freedom
of coherent light within a single integrated platform. We experimentally demonstrate
arbitrary polarization state generation spanning the Poincare sphere, as well
as Stokes vector measurement on chip. Unlike conventional Stokes measurements
that rely on direct detection, polarization analysis utilizing this architecture
is intrinsically non-destructive, preserving the optical signal for further optical
domain processing. The devices are fabricated in a commercial foundry using CMOS-compatible
processes, enabling scalable and reproducible integration. By combining polarization
generation and analysis in a compact and stable photonic circuit, this work eliminates
the need for external polarization optics and provides a foundation for robust,
polarization-enabled photonic integrated systems.

text: The complexity and specificity of movement in vertebrates is driven by a rich
diversity of spinal motor and interneuron cell types. During development, eleven
spinal cord progenitor domains generate an equivalent number of cardinal neuron
types. How progenitor domains, individual progenitors, and post-mitotic diversity
relate is still unknown. We performed high-resolution, single-progenitor cell
lineage tracing in the embryonic mouse spinal cord using mosaic analysis with
double markers (MADM). Our quantitative study of lineage progression revealed
that spinal cord progenitors undergo highly variable numbers of proliferative,
neurogenic, and gliogenic cell divisions. The nascent clonally-related neurons
migrate radially over large distances, span the dorsoventral axis, and even cross
the midline, demonstrating striking bilaterality. Molecular and morphometric analysis
indicate high levels of progenitor multipotency, with an individual progenitor
capable of producing several molecularly and morphologically distinct neuron types,
as well as astrocytes. These findings redefine spinal cord development as a process
in which lineage variability — rather than rigid progenitor identity — drives
the generation of cellular diversity.

text: Three-dimensional (3D) crystals offer a route to scaling up trapped-ion systems
for quantum sensing and quantum simulation applications; however, engineering
coherent spin-motion couplings and effective spin-spin interactions in large crystals
poses technical challenges associated with decoherence and prolonged timescales
to generate appreciable entanglement. Here, we explore the possibility of speeding
up these interactions in 3D crystals via parametric amplification. For this purpose,
we derive a general Hamiltonian for the parametric amplification of spin-motion
coupling that is broadly applicable to normal modes with motion transverse to
or along the spatial extent of the crystal. Unlike in lower-dimensional crystals,
we find that the ability to faithfully (uniformly) amplify the spin-spin interactions
in 3D crystals depends on the physical implementation of the spin-motion coupling.
We consider the light-shift gate, and the so-called phase-insensitive and phase-sensitive
Mølmer-Sørensen (MS) gates, and we find that only the phase-sensitive MS gate
can be faithfully amplified in general 3D crystals. We discuss a situation where
nonuniform amplification can be advantageous. We also reconsider the effect of
counter-rotating terms on parametric amplification and find that they are not
as detrimental as previous studies suggest.

text: "The Nakamoto consensus protocol underlying the Bitcoin blockchain uses proof
of work as a voting mechanism. Honest miners who contribute hashing power towards
securing the chain try to extend the longest chain they are aware of. Despite
its simplicity, Nakamoto consensus achieves meaningful security guarantees assuming
that at any point in time, a majority of the hashing power is controlled by honest
parties. This also holds under “resource variability”, i.e., if the total hashing
power varies greatly over time.\r\nProofs of space (PoSpace) have been suggested
as a more sustainable replacement for proofs of work. Unfortunately, no construction
of a “longest-chain” blockchain based on PoSpace, that is secure under dynamic
availability, is known. In this work, we prove that without additional assumptions
no such protocol exists. We exactly quantify this impossibility result by proving
a bound on the length of the fork required for double spending as a function of
the adversarial capabilities. This bound holds for any chain selection rule, and
we also show a chain selection rule (albeit a very strange one) that almost matches
this bound.\r\nThe Nakamoto consensus protocol underlying the Bitcoin blockchain

The adversary can change the honest space by a factor 1+- E with every block (dynamic

using the same space) takes as much time as p blocks.\r\nWe prove that no matter
what chain selection rule is used, in this game the adversary can create a fork
of length o^2 . p/E that will be picked as the winner by the chain selection rule.\r\nWe
also provide an upper bound that matches the lower bound up to a factor o. There
exists a chain selection rule (albeit a very strange one) which in the above game
requires forks of length at least o . p/E\r\nOur results show the necessity of
additional assumptions to create a secure PoSpace based longest-chain blockchain.
The Chia network in addition to PoSpace uses a verifiable delay function. Our
bounds show that an additional primitive like that is necessary."

text: "Blockchains enable distributed consensus in permissionless settings, where
participants\r\nare unknown, dynamically changing, and do not trust each other.
While Bitcoin,\r\nbased on Proof-of-Work (PoW), was the first protocol in this
model, significant\r\nresearch has focused on permissionless protocols using alternative
physical resources,\r\nspecifically Proof-of-Space (PoSpace) and Verifiable Delay
Functions (VDFs). This\r\nthesis investigates the theoretical limits and design
space of longest-chain protocols in\r\nthe fully permissionless and dynamically
available settings using these three resources.\r\nFirst, we address the feasibility
of blockchains relying solely on storage as a resource.\r\nWe prove a fundamental
impossibility result: there exists no secure longest-chain\r\nprotocol based exclusively
on Proof-of-Space in the fully permissionless or dynamically\r\navailable settings.
Further, we quantify the adversarial capabilities required to execute\r\na double-spend
attack. Our result formally justifies the necessity of coupling PoSpace\r\nwith
time-dependent primitives (such as VDFs) or to move to less permissive settings\r\n(quasi-permissionless
or permissioned) to ensure security.\r\nSecond, we generalize Nakamoto-like heaviest
chain consensus to protocols utilizing\r\ncombinations of multiple physical resources.
We analyze chain selection rules governed\r\nby a weight function Γ(S, V,W), which
assigns weight to blocks based on recorded\r\nSpace (S), VDF speed (V ), and Work
(W). We provide a complete classification\r\nof secure weight functions, proving
that a weight function is secure against private\r\ndouble-spend attacks if and
only if it is homogeneous in the timed resources (V,W)\r\nand sub-homogeneous
in S. This framework unifies existing protocols like Bitcoin and\r\nChia under
a single theoretical model and provides a powerful tool for designing new\r\nlongest-chain
blockchains from a mix of physical resources."

text: 'The cobalt-intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide CoxTaS2 hosts a rich
landscape of magnetic phases that depend sensitively on x. While the stoichiometric
compound with x = 1/3 exhibits a single magnetic transition, samples with x≤0.325
display two transitions with an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) emerging in the lower
temperature phase. Here, we resolve the spin structure in each phase by employing
a suite of magneto-optical probes that include the discovery of anomalous magneto-birefringence:
a spontaneous time-reversal sensitive rotation of the principal optic axes. A
symmetry-based analysis identifies the AHE-active phase as an anisotropic (2+1)Q
state, in which magnetic modulation at one wavevector (Q) differs in symmetry
from that at the remaining two. The (2+1)Q state naturally exhibits scalar spin
chirality as a mechanism for the AHE and expands the classification of multi-Q
magnetic phases.'

text: Be stars are rapidly rotating main-sequence stars that play a crucial role
in understanding stellar evolution and binary interactions. In this Letter, we
propose a new formation scenario for black hole (BH) + Be star binaries (hereafter
BHBe binaries), where the Be star is produced through the wind Roche lobe overflow
(WRLOF) mechanism. Our analysis is based on numerical simulations of the WRLOF
process in massive binaries, building on recent theoretical work. We demonstrate
that the WRLOF model can efficiently form BHBe binaries under reasonable assumptions
on stellar wind velocities. Using rapid binary population synthesis, we estimate
the population of such systems in the Milky Way, predicting ∼1800−3200 currently
existing BHBe binaries originating from the WRLOF channel. These systems are characterized
by high eccentricities and exceptionally wide orbits, with typical orbital periods
exceeding 1000 days and a peak distribution around ∼10,000 days. Due to their
long orbital separations, these BHBe binaries are promising targets for future
detection via astrometric and interferometric observations.

text: "In this paper, we consider the big algebra recently introduced by Hausel
for the GLn-action on the coordinate ring of the matrix space Mat(n,r). In particular,
we obtain explicit formulas for the big algebra generators in terms of differential
operators with polynomial coefficients. We show that big algebras in type A are
commutative and relate them to the Bethe subalgebra in the Yangian Y(gln). We
apply these results to big algebras of symmetric powers of the standard representation
of GLn.\r\n."

text: 'Swimming bacteria move through a fluid by actuating their moving body parts.
They are force-free and can be described as hydrodynamic force dipoles: pushers
or pullers. This modelling description is broadly used in biological physics and
active matter research, and it has successfully predicted, for example, the superfluid
behaviour of suspensions of pushers or the bend instability and emergence of turbulent
flows in active nematics. However, this description accounts only for the translational
motion of the swimming body and neglects the effects of hydrodynamic torque dipoles,
which are relevant to bacteria with rotary motor-driven flagella, such as swimming
Escherichia coli. Here we show that the torque dipole of confined swimming E.
coli can power the persistent rotation of symmetric discs. The torque dipole leads
to a traction force on the discs, an additive mechanism that is both contactless
and independent of the orientation of the bacteria. Our results indicate that
the torque dipole of swimming E. coli is notable in confined geometries, which
is relevant to bacterial transport through porous materials, biofilms and the
development of chiral fluids.'

text: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a crucial member of the reactive oxygen species
(ROS) family, playing roles in cellular signalling and immune responses in human
health. Moreover, it is a potential biomarker of diabetes when present in aberrant
concentrations. Therefore, monitoring trace levels of H2O2 has become a research
hotspot for analytical and sensor chemists. In this context, we report a rhodamine-based
fluorescent probe (RN), which shows excellent fluorescent enhancement at 555 nm
upon the addition of H2O2 along with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.67 ppm
and fast response (∼2 min). The probe is highly selective for H2O2, showing no
fluorescence enhancement with other ROS. RN is synthesised in a one-pot chemical
reaction using rhodamine 6G (R6G) and 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine (TTDA).
H2O2 detection in pre-treated milk samples proves its real-world viability. We
found that RN shows low cytotoxicity, which allowed us to successfully explore
its potential to monitor H2O2 generation in a diabetic L929 skin cell line and
diabetic mice liver tissue. This result demonstrates promising features for assessing
early diabetic progression through fluorescence imaging.

text: "Rapid local adaptation to new environments is critical for species persistence,
especially in introduced populations. The evolutionary success of these populations
is fundamentally dictated by the organization of genetic variation—the genomic
architecture—in the face of severe demographic constraints, such as the founder
effects and genetic bottlenecks that frequently accompany colonization. A central
question in evolutionary biology is whether rapid adaptation relies on major-effect
loci, such as chromosomal inversions, or on many small-effect loci dispersed across
the genome. Furthermore, the genomic architecture strongly influences the extent
to which evolutionary outcomes are predictable. Using introduced populations of
the marine snail, Littorina saxatilis, as a model, this thesis investigates how
genetic variation and genomic structure drive adaptation following introduction.
We employed a population genomics approach on experimentally and accidentally
introduced populations to dissect the specific genomic features that underpin
divergence in newly colonized environments.\r\n\r\nIn Chapter 2, we tested the
predictability of local adaptation through an uncommon 30-year transplant experiment
in nature. By distinguishing allele and chromosomal inversion frequency changes
from neutral expectations, we found that evolutionary change was highly predictable
at the macro-scale (phenotypes and chromosomal inversions), but less robust at
the level of individual collinear loci. This result demonstrates that evolution
can be predictable when a population possesses sufficient standing genetic variation
(SGV), with chromosomal inversions acting as key integrated units that facilitate
a rapid response to selection. Building on this, Chapter 3 applied whole-genome
sequencing to three accidentally introduced populations (Venice, San Francisco,
and Redwood City) to investigate their likely source and genomic patterns of divergence.
We identified genomic regions of remarkable divergence potentially associated
with local adaptation, and likely fuelled by SGV, while explicitly acknowledging
the difficulty in disentangling selection signals from the genome-wide effects
of demographic processes. Furthermore, we found that the divergence patterns relied
extensively on the collinear genome in these introduced populations, and less
clearly on the chromosomal inversions. This observation contrasts with local adaptation
observed in the experimental system that relied on both collinear loci and highly
selected chromosomal inversions, highlighting how demographic history and genomic
architecture influence the detectable signature of local adaptation.\r\n\r\nA
major limitation to conducting large-scale comparative evolutionary studies is
the lack of data standardization, which prevents the integration of community
knowledge and high-resolution environmental and genetic data. Chapter 4 addresses
this by developing a community database for the Littorina system. This platform
implements standardized protocols for the integration of diverse phenotypic and
environmental data from multiple Littorina species. Likewise, the platform also
centralizes the availability of associated genomic data through links to external
repositories. This database represents a crucial tool to test complex, large-scale
evolutionary hypotheses.\r\n\r\nCollectively, this thesis strongly reinforces
the fundamental importance of SGV as the raw material for successful local adaptation,
a conclusion supported by evidence in both experimental and accidental introductions.
Furthermore, this work highlights the critical role of the genomic architecture—specifically
chromosomal inversions—in driving the predictability and effectiveness of adaptive
responses. Our findings underscore how the interplay between SGV and genomic architecture
dictates the trajectory and detectability of evolution in colonizing populations,
while simultaneously providing a necessary tool to advance comparative evolutionary
genomics in emerging model organisms."

text: Nanophotonics has revolutionized the control of light-matter interactions
in various fields of fundamental science and technology. In this work, we propose
Implosion Fabrication (ImpFab) as a versatile nanophotonics fabrication platform
providing the highest spatial resolution, material versatility, and full volumetric
control. ImpFab uniquely combines top-down lithography with bottom-up nanoparticle
assembly within a hydrogel scaffold, enabling precise control over optical material
properties, such as refractive index, by adjusting printing parameters. We showcase
the potential of ImpFab by fabricating three-dimensional photonic crystals and
quasicrystals, as well as demonstrating optical structures with spatially modulated
unit cell material properties. Our results highlight the potential of ImpFab in
producing nanostructures with tailored optical functionalities, which are crucial
for applications in sensing, imaging, and information processing, and opening
new avenues in developing non-Hermitian photonic systems with spatially controlled
gain and loss.

text: Spin-polarized electron beam sources enable studies of spin-dependent electric
and magnetic effects at the nanoscale. We propose a method of creating spin-polarized
electrons on an integrated photonics chip by laser-driven nanophotonic fields.
A two-stage interaction separated by a free-space drift length is proposed, where
the first stage and drift length introduces spin-dependent characteristics into
the probability distribution of the electron wave function. The second stage uses
an adjusted optical near field to rotate the spin states utilizing the spin-dependent
wave-packet distribution to produce electrons with high ensemble average spin
expectation values. This platform provides an integrated and compact method to
generate spin-polarized electrons, implementable with millimeter scale chips and
tabletop lasers.

text: Non-Hermiticity naturally arises in physical systems that exchange energy
with their environment. The presence of non-Hermiticity leads to many topological
physics phenomena and device applications. In the non-Hermitian energy band theory,
the foundation of these physics and applications, both energies and wave vectors
take complex values. The energy bands thus become a Riemann surface, and such
an energy-band Riemann surface underlies all important signatures of non-Hermitian
topology. Despite a long history and recent theoretical interests, the energy-band
Riemann surface has not been experimentally studied. Here, we provide a photonic
observation of the energy-band Riemann surface of a non-Hermitian system. This
is achieved by a tunable imaginary gauge transformation in photonic synthetic
frequency dimensions. From measured topologies of the Riemann surface, we reveal
the complex-energy winding, the open-boundary-condition spectrum, the generalized
Brillouin zone, and the branch points. Our findings demonstrate a unified framework
in the studies of diverse effects in non-Hermitian topological physics through
an experimental observation of energy-band Riemann surfaces.
