  text: "Understanding the relationship between a given phenotype and its underlying
    genotype or genotypes is one of the most pressing challenges of biology, as it
    lies at the heart of not only basic understanding of evolutionary theory, but
    also of practical applications in medicine and bioengineering. Understanding this
    relationship is complicated by the ubiquitous phenomenon of epistasis, wherein
    mutation effects are dependent on their genetic context. Fitness landscapes —
    representations of phenotype as a function of genotype — are being increasingly
    used as a tool to study the effects and interactions of thousands of mutations,
    but are experimentally limited to exploring a small fraction of a protein’s theoretical
    sequence space. Furthermore, not all regions of said sequence space are necessarily
    equally informative. Thus, gene selection for landscape surveys should be carefully
    considered in order to maximize the usable output of necessarily limited data.\r\n\r\nIn
    this work, we analyzed the fitness landscapes of orthologous green fluorescent
    proteins from four different species, by systematically measuring the phenotype,
    fluorescence, of tens of thousands of mutant genotypes from each protein. These
    landscapes were highly heterogeneous, with some genes being mutationally robust
    and displaying epistasis only rarely, and others being highly epistatic and mutationally
    fragile. We used this data to train machine learning models to predict fluorescence
    from genotype. Although the training data contained almost exclusively genotypes
    with less than 3% sequence divergence from the original wild-type sequences, we
    were able to create novel, functional genotypes with up to 20% sequence divergence.
    Counterintuitively however, genes with high mutational robustness and rare epistasis
    were more difficult to introduce large numbers of mutations into, not less. This
    represents the first study of large-scale fitness landscapes of a protein family,
    and provides insights into how to approach future landscape surveys and their
    applications in novel protein design."

  text: Global services like navigation, communication, and Earth observation have
    increased dramatically in the 21st century due to advances in outer space industries.
    But as orbits become increasingly crowded with both satellites and inevitable
    space debris pollution, continued operations become endangered by the heightened
    risks of debris collisions in orbit. Kessler Syndrome is the term for when a critical
    threshold of orbiting debris triggers a runaway positive feedback loop of debris
    collisions, creating debris congestion that can render orbits unusable. As this
    potential tipping point becomes more widely recognized, there have been renewed
    calls for debris mitigation and removal. Here, we combine complex systems and
    social-ecological systems approaches to study how these efforts may affect space
    debris accumulation and the likelihood of reaching Kessler Syndrome. Specifically,
    we model how debris levels are affected by future launch rates, cleanup activities,
    and collisions between extant debris. We contextualize and interpret our dynamic
    model within a discussion of existing space debris governance and other social,
    economic, and geopolitical factors that may influence effective collective management
    of the orbital commons. In line with previous studies, our model finds that debris
    congestion may be reached in less than 200 years, though a holistic management
    strategy combining removal and mitigation actions can avoid such outcomes while
    continuing space activities. Moreover, although active debris removal may be particularly
    effective, the current lack of market and governance support may impede its implementation.
    Research into these critical dynamics and the multi-faceted variables that influence
    debris outcomes can support policymakers in curating impactful governance strategies
    and realistic transition pathways to sustaining debris-free orbits. Overall, our
    study is useful for communicating about space debris sustainability in policy
    and education settings by providing an exploration of policy portfolio options
    supported by a simple and clear social-ecological modeling approach.

  text: "The new era of Ge has opened up new possibilities in quantum computing. The
    maturity of Ge\r\nspin qubits is unquestioned, while hybrid semiconductor-superconductor
    Ge circuits are on track\r\nto enter the game. Gate-tunable transmons (gatemons)
    employing semiconductor Josephson\r\njunctions have recently emerged as building
    blocks for such hybrid quantum circuits. In this\r\nthesis, we present a gatemon
    fabricated in planar Germanium. We induce superconductivity\r\nin a two-dimensional
    hole gas by evaporating aluminum atop a thin spacer, which separates\r\nthe superconductor
    from the Ge quantum well. The Josephson junction is then integrated\r\ninto an
    Xmon circuit and capacitively coupled to a transmission line resonator. We showcase\r\nthe
    qubit tunability in a broad frequency range with resonator and two-tone spectroscopy.\r\nTime-domain
    characterizations reveal energy relaxation and coherence times up to 75 ns. Our\r\nresults,
    combined with the recent advances in the spin qubit field, pave the way towards
    novel\r\nhybrid and protected qubits in a group IV, CMOS-compatible material."

  text: "In this article we extend and strengthen the seminal work by Niyogi, Smale,
    and Weinberger on the learning of the homotopy type from a sample of an underlying
    space. In their work, Niyogi, Smale, and Weinberger studied samples of C² manifolds
    with positive reach embedded in ℝ^d. We extend their results in the following
    ways: - As the ambient space we consider both ℝ^d and Riemannian manifolds with
    lower bounded sectional curvature. - In both types of ambient spaces, we study
    sets of positive reach - a significantly more general setting than C² manifolds
    - as well as general manifolds of positive reach. - The sample P of a set (or
    a manifold) \U0001D4AE of positive reach may be noisy. We work with two one-sided
    Hausdorff distances - ε and δ - between P and \U0001D4AE. We provide tight bounds
    in terms of ε and δ, that guarantee that there exists a parameter r such that
    the union of balls of radius r centred at the sample P deformation-retracts to
    \U0001D4AE. We exhibit their tightness by an explicit construction. We carefully
    distinguish the roles of δ and ε. This is not only essential to achieve tight
    bounds, but also sensible in practical situations, since it allows one to adapt
    the bound according to sample density and the amount of noise present in the sample
    separately."

  text: Gate-tunable transmons (gatemons) employing semiconductor Josephson junctions
    have recently emerged as building blocks for hybrid quantum circuits. In this
    study, we present a gatemon fabricated in planar Germanium. We induce superconductivity
    in a two-dimensional hole gas by evaporating aluminum atop a thin spacer, which
    separates the superconductor from the Ge quantum well. The Josephson junction
    is then integrated into an Xmon circuit and capacitively coupled to a transmission
    line resonator. We showcase the qubit tunability in a broad frequency range with
    resonator and two-tone spectroscopy. Time-domain characterizations reveal energy
    relaxation and coherence times up to 75 ns. Our results, combined with the recent
    advances in the spin qubit field, pave the way towards novel hybrid and protected
    qubits in a group IV, CMOS-compatible material.

  text: The TIR1/AFB–Aux/IAA–ARF canonical auxin signaling pathway is widely accepted
    to (de)active transcriptional regulation, thus controlling auxin-associated developmental
    processes. However, the theme of a rapid auxin response has emerged since the
    2018 Auxins and Cytokinin in Plant Development conference. To date, a few signaling
    components have been identified to mediate both slow and rapid auxin responses,
    which unveils the complexity of auxin signaling.

  text: Multiplexed fluorescence microscopy imaging is widely used in biomedical applications.
    However, simultaneous imaging of multiple fluorophores can result in spectral
    leaks and overlapping, which greatly degrades image quality and subsequent analysis.
    Existing popular spectral unmixing methods are mainly based on computational intensive
    linear models and the performance is heavily dependent on the reference spectra,
    which may greatly preclude its further applications. In this paper, we propose
    a deep learning-based blindly spectral unmixing method, termed AutoUnmix, to imitate
    the physical spectral mixing process. A tranfer learning framework is further
    devised to allow our AutoUnmix adapting to a variety of imaging systems without
    retraining the network. Our proposed method has demonstrated real-time unmixing
    capabilities, surpassing existing methods by up to 100-fold in terms of unmixing
    speed. We further validate the reconstruction performance on both synthetic datasets
    and biological samples. The unmixing results of AutoUnmix achieve a highest SSIM
    of 0.99 in both three- and four-color imaging, with nearly up to 20% higher than
    other popular unmixing methods. Due to the desirable property of data independency
    and superior blind unmixing performance, we believe AutoUnmix is a powerful tool
    to study the interaction process of different organelles labeled by multiple fluorophores.

  text: The information-processing capability of the brain’s cellular network depends
    on the physical wiring pattern between neurons and their molecular and functional
    characteristics. Mapping neurons and resolving their individual synaptic connections
    can be achieved by volumetric imaging at nanoscale resolution with dense cellular
    labeling. Light microscopy is uniquely positioned to visualize specific molecules
    but dense, synapse-level circuit reconstruction by light microscopy has been out
    of reach due to limitations in resolution, contrast, and volumetric imaging capability.
    Here we developed light-microscopy based connectomics (LICONN). We integrated
    specifically engineered hydrogel embedding and expansion with comprehensive deep-learning
    based segmentation and analysis of connectivity, thus directly incorporating molecular
    information in synapse-level brain tissue reconstructions. LICONN will allow synapse-level
    brain tissue phenotyping in biological experiments in a readily adoptable manner.

  text: "An ideal quantum computer relies on qubits capable of performing fast gate
    operations and\r\nmaintaining strong interconnections while preserving their quantum
    coherence. Since the\r\ninception of experimental eforts toward building a quantum
    computer, the community has\r\nfaced challenges in engineering such a system.
    Among the various methods of implementing a\r\nquantum computer, superconducting
    qubits have shown fast gates close to tens of nanoseconds,\r\nwith the state-of-the-art
    reaching a coherence of a few milliseconds. However, achieving\r\nsimultaneously
    long lifetimes with fast qubit operations poses an inherent paradox. Qubits\r\nwith
    high coherence require isolation from the environment, while fast operation necessitates\r\nstrong
    coupling of the qubit. This thesis approaches this issue by proposing the idea
    of\r\nengineering superconducting qubits capable of transitioning between operating
    in a protected\r\nregime, where the qubit is completely isolated from the environment,
    and coupling to the\r\ncommunication channels as needed. In this direction, we
    use the geometric superinductor to\r\nscan the parameter space of rf-SQUID devices,
    searching for a regime where we can take the\r\nqubit protection to its extreme.\r\n\r\nThis
    leads us to the inductively shunted transmon (IST) regime, characterized by EJ
    /EC ≫ 1\r\nand EJ /EL ≫ 1, where the circuit potential exhibits a double well
    with a large barrier\r\nseparating the local ground states of each quantum well.
    In this regime, although it is\r\nanticipated that the two quantum wells would
    be isolated from each other, we observe single\r\nfuxon tunneling between them.
    The interplay of the cavity photons and the fuxon transition\r\nforms a rich physical
    system, containing resonance conditions that allow the preparation of the\r\nfuxon
    ground or excited states. This enables us to study the relaxation rate of such
    transition\r\nand show that it can be as large as 3.6 hours. Dynamically controlling
    the barrier height\r\nbetween the two quantum wells allows for controllable coupling,
    which scales exponentially,\r\nfor a qubit encoded in two fuxon states.\r\nThe
    0-π qubit is one of the very few known superconducting circuit types that ofers
    exponential\r\nprotection from both relaxation and dephasing simultaneously. However,
    this qubit is not\r\nexempt from the fact that such protection comes at the expense
    of complex readout and\r\ncontrol. In this thesis, we propose a way to controllably
    break the circuit symmetry, the\r\nkey reason for the protection, to momentarily
    restore the ability to control and manipulate\r\nthe qubit. An asymmetry in capacitances
    and inductances in the 0-π circuit is detrimental\r\nsince they lead to coupling
    of the protected state to the thermally occupied parasitic mode\r\nof the circuit.
    However, here we try to exploit a controlled asymmetry in Josephson energies\r\nand
    show that this can be used as a tunable coupler between the protected states.
    In the\r\nfuture, this should allow to perform gate operations by dynamically
    controlling the asymmetry\r\ninstead of driving the protected transition with
    microwave pulses. Therefore, we believe that\r\nthe proposed method can make the
    use of protected qubits more practical in experimental\r\nrealizations of quantum
    computing."

  text: The physical conditions giving rise to high escape fractions of ionizing radiation
    (LyC fesc) in star-forming galaxies – most likely protagonists of cosmic reionization
    – are not yet fully understood. Using the VLT/MUSE observations of ∼1400 Ly α
    emitters at 2.9 &amp;lt; z &amp;lt; 6.7, we compare stacked rest-frame UV spectra
    of candidates for LyC leakers and non-leakers selected based on their Ly α profiles.
    We find that the stacks of potential LyC leakers, i.e. galaxies with narrow, symmetric
    Ly α profiles with small peak separation, generally show (i) strong nebular O iii]λ1666,
    [Si iii]λ1883, and [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 emission, indicating a high-ionization
    state of the interstellar medium (ISM); (ii) high equivalent widths of He iiλ1640
    (∼1 − 3 Å), suggesting the presence of hard ionizing radiation fields; (iii) Si ii*λ1533
    emission, revealing substantial amounts of neutral hydrogen off the line of sight;
    (iv) high C ivλλ1548,1550 to [C iii]λ1907 +C iii]λ1909 ratios (C iv/C iii] ≳0.75)
    , signalling the presence of low column density channels in the ISM. In contrast,
    the stacks with broad, asymmetric Ly α profiles with large peak separation show
    weak nebular emission lines, low He iiλ1640 equivalent widths (≲1 Å), and low
    C iv/C iii] (≲0.25), implying low-ionization states and high-neutral hydrogen
    column densities. Our results suggest that C iv/C iii] might be sensitive to the
    physical conditions that govern LyC photon escape, providing a promising tool
    for identification of ionizing sources among star-forming galaxies in the epoch
    of reionization.

  text: Matrix games are the most basic model in game theory, and yet robustness with
    respect to small perturbations of the matrix entries is not fully understood.
    In this paper, we introduce value positivity and uniform value positivity, two
    properties that refine the notion of optimality in the context of polynomially
    perturbed matrix games. The first concept captures how the value depends on the
    perturbation parameter, and the second consists of the existence of a fixed strategy
    that guarantees the value of the unperturbed matrix game for every sufficiently
    small positive parameter. We provide polynomial-time algorithms to check whether
    a polynomially perturbed matrix game satisfies these properties. We further provide
    the functional form for a parameterized optimal strategy and the value function.
    Finally, we translate our results to linear programming and stochastic games,
    where value positivity is related to the existence of robust solutions.

  text: We provide a dynamical study of a model of multiplicative perturbation of
    a unitary matrix introduced by Fyodorov. In particular, we identify a flow of
    deterministic domains that bound the spectrum with high probability, separating
    the outlier from the typical eigenvalues at all sub-critical timescales. These
    results are obtained under generic assumptions on U that hold for a variety of
    unitary random matrix models.

  text: "Deep neural networks (DNNs) exhibit a surprising structure in their final
    layer\r\nknown as neural collapse (NC), and a growing body of works has currently
    investigated the propagation of neural collapse to earlier layers of DNNs – a
    phenomenon\r\ncalled deep neural collapse (DNC). However, existing theoretical
    results are restricted to special cases: linear models, only two layers or binary
    classification.\r\nIn contrast, we focus on non-linear models of arbitrary depth
    in multi-class classification and reveal a surprising qualitative shift. As soon
    as we go beyond two\r\nlayers or two classes, DNC stops being optimal for the
    deep unconstrained features\r\nmodel (DUFM) – the standard theoretical framework
    for the analysis of collapse.\r\nThe main culprit is a low-rank bias of multi-layer
    regularization schemes: this bias\r\nleads to optimal solutions of even lower
    rank than the neural collapse. We support\r\nour theoretical findings with experiments
    on both DUFM and real data, which show\r\nthe emergence of the low-rank structure
    in the solution found by gradient descent."

  text: "Understanding the role of evolutionary processes in shaping genetic variation
    has been a\r\nprimary goal in evolutionary genetics. In this regard, a key question
    is how genetically\r\ndistinct populations evolve in the face of gene flow, thereby
    generating genetic and\r\nphenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation (RI).
    This requires quantifying the role\r\nand relative contributions of prezygotic
    and postzygotic isolating mechanisms on the\r\nreduction of gene exchange between
    populations, and identifying regions in the genome\r\nthat mediate RI, which is
    often polygenic. Further, this needs distinguishing neutral and\r\nselected regions
    in the genome, and discerning how selection influences patterns of neutral\r\ndivergence.\r\nPopulation
    structure, defined as any deviation from panmixia, such as geographic distribution,
    movement and mating patterns of individuals, influences how genetic variation
    is\r\nstructured in space and shapes the neutral null model. Availability of large
    scale spatial\r\ngenomic datasets now enables us to detect signatures of population
    structure in genetic\r\ndata and infer population genetic parameters. Such inferences
    are crucial and have wide\r\napplications in biodiversity, conservation genetics,
    population management and medical\r\ngenetics. However, inferences are based on
    assumptions that do not always match the\r\ncomplex reality, thus leading to erroneous
    conclusions. Moreover, the role and interaction\r\nof heterogeneous population
    density and dispersal, which are ubiquitous in nature, has\r\nbeen challenging
    to study owing to their mathematical complexity. In such scenarios,\r\nfeedback
    between theory, data and simulations can prove to be useful.\r\nIn this thesis,
    I examine the effect of population structure on neutral genetic variation\r\nand
    barriers to gene exchange in hybridising populations, thereby bridging together
    the\r\nfields of spatial population genetics and speciation.\r\nDespite being
    a key concept in speciation, reproductive isolation (RI) lacks a quantitative\r\ndefinition
    and has been used and measured differently across different fields. Chapter 2\r\ngives
    a quantitative definition of RI, in terms of the effect of genetic differences
    on gene\r\nflow. We give analytical predictions for RI in a range of scenarios,
    in terms of effective migration rates for discrete populations and barrier strength
    for continuous populations.\r\nIn addition to this, we discuss current measures
    of RI and their limitations, and propose\r\nthe need for new measures that combine
    organismal and genetic perspectives of RI.\r\nIn chapter 3, I examine the combined
    effect of assortative mating, sexual selection\r\nand viability selection on RI.
    For this, we consider a polygenic ‘magic’ trait under a\r\nmainland-island model.
    We obtain novel theoretical predictions for molecular divergence\r\nin terms of
    effective migration rates, which bears a simple relationship to measurable\r\nfitness
    components of migrants and various early generation hybrids. We explore the\r\nconditions
    under which local adaptation can be maintained despite maladaptive gene flow\r\nand
    quantify the relative contributions of viability and sexual selection to genome-wide\r\nbarriers
    to gene flow.\r\nThe next two chapters of the thesis focus on a hybrid zone of
    Antirrhinum majus that\r\nconsist of two subspecies- the magenta flowered A. m.
    pseudomajus and the yellow\r\nflowered A.m. striatum. Previous studies have suggested
    that flower colour is target of\r\npollinator mediated selection and is influenced
    only by few genes. While these regions\r\nshow high genetic differentiation between
    the subspecies, the rest of the genome is seen\r\nto be well mixed. Chapter 4
    examines the effects of heterogeneous population density\r\nand leptokurtic dispersal
    on isolation by distance and the distribution of heterozygosity\r\nby focusing
    on non-flower colour markers.\r\nChapter 5 analyses cline shapes and associations
    among 6 focal flower colour markers to\r\nunderstand how selection and dispersal
    maintain this hybrid zone. We see sharp coincident\r\nstepped clines at all loci
    and positive associations throughout the hybrid zone, contrary to\r\nthe expected
    patterns from diffusive gene flow. With a novel scheme of inferring dispersal\r\ncombined
    with multilocus simulations, we show that stepped clines do not reflect genetic\r\nbarriers
    to gene flow, but are rather a result of long-distance migration. This framework\r\nallows
    us to get realistic estimates gene flow and selection and shows how traditional
    cline\r\nanalysis may lead to inaccurate conclusions when assumptions of the theory
    are not met.\r\nOverall, this thesis investigates how different features of population
    structure leave\r\ndetectable signatures in genetic variation, namely in patterns
    of isolation by distance,\r\nlinkage disequilibrium and genetic divergence. It
    also highlights how effective migration\r\nrates provide useful way of analysing
    polygenic architectures and shed new light into\r\nhybrid zones. In doing so,
    I identify scenarios when simple models become insufficient\r\nand suggest possibe
    directions by combining genetic data with simulations."

  text: We present a theory describing the interaction of structured light, such as
    light carrying orbital angular momentum, with molecules. The light-matter interaction
    Hamiltonian we derive is expressed through couplings between spherical gradients
    of the electric field and the (transition) electric multipole moments of a particle
    of any nontrivial rotation point group. Our model can therefore accommodate an
    arbitrary complexity of the molecular and electric field structure, and it can
    be straightforwardly extended to atoms or nanostructures. Applying this framework
    to rovibrational spectroscopy of molecules, we uncover the general mechanism of
    angular momentum exchange between the spin and orbital angular momenta of light,
    molecular rotation, and its center-of-mass motion. We show that the nonzero vorticity
    of Laguerre-Gaussian beams can strongly enhance certain rovibrational transitions
    that are considered forbidden in the case of nonhelical light. We discuss the
    experimental requirements for the observation of these forbidden transitions in
    state-of-the-art spatially resolved spectroscopy measurements.

  text: "This thesis consists of four distinct pieces of work within theoretical biology,
    with two themes in common: the concept of optimization in biological systems,
    and the use of information-theoretic tools to quantify biological stochasticity
    and statistical uncertainty.\r\nChapter 2 develops a statistical framework for
    studying biological systems which we believe to be optimized for a particular
    utility function, such as retinal neurons conveying information about visual stimuli.
    We formalize such beliefs as maximum-entropy Bayesian priors, constrained by the
    expected utility. We explore how such priors aid inference of system parameters
    with limited data and enable optimality hypothesis testing: is the utility higher
    than by chance?\r\nChapter 3 examines the ultimate biological optimization process:
    evolution by natural selection. As some individuals survive and reproduce more
    successfully than others, populations evolve towards fitter genotypes and phenotypes.
    We formalize this as accumulation of genetic information, and use population genetics
    theory to study how much such information can be accumulated per generation and
    maintained in the face of random mutation and genetic drift. We identify the population
    size and fitness variance as the key quantities that control information accumulation
    and maintenance.\r\nChapter 4 reuses the concept of genetic information from Chapter
    3, but from a different perspective: we ask how much genetic information organisms
    actually need, in particular in the context of gene regulation. For example, how
    much information is needed to bind transcription factors at correct locations
    within the genome? Population genetics provides us with a refined answer: with
    an increasing population size, populations achieve higher fitness by maintaining
    more genetic information. Moreover, regulatory parameters experience selection
    pressure to optimize the fitness-information trade-off, i.e. minimize the information
    needed for a given fitness. This provides an evolutionary derivation of the optimization
    priors introduced in Chapter 2.\r\nChapter 5 proves an upper bound on mutual information
    between a signal and a communication channel output (such as neural activity).
    Mutual information is an important utility measure for biological systems, but
    its practical use can be difficult due to the large dimensionality of many biological
    channels. Sometimes, a lower bound on mutual information is computed by replacing
    the high-dimensional channel outputs with decodes (signal estimates). Our result
    provides a corresponding upper bound, provided that the decodes are the maximum
    posterior estimates of the signal."

  text: "This thesis describes the development of an atom interferometer designed
    to exploit the\r\nadvantages of utilizing quantum entanglement for enhanced precision
    measurements beyond\r\nthe standard quantum limit. While the project remains ongoing,
    significant progress has been\r\nmade.\r\nA key contribution of this work is the
    development of Quantrol, an experimental control\r\nsystem leveraging the ARTIQ
    framework. This software enables precise timing and control\r\nwithout requiring
    prior knowledge of ARTIQ’s implementation details or coding experience.\r\nThe
    interface offers user friendly visual comprehension of the experimental sequence
    and\r\nextended capabilities, allowing researchers to scan variables with a simple
    click of a mouse.\r\nThe main proposed project is to implement atom interferometric
    sequence with squeezed input\r\nstates inside of a dipole trap generated by a
    high finesse cavity. The presence of the dipole\r\ntrap allows one dimensional
    atomic cloud split while maintaining relatively strong confinement\r\nin other
    directions.\r\nWe are currently able to trap and cool 87Rb atoms to few micro
    kelvin temperatures, load\r\nthem into the dipole trap and state prepare them
    to be used for squeezing and interferometric\r\nsequence."

  text: "It is a remarkable property of BCS theory that the ratio of the energy gap
    at zero temperature Ξ\r\n and the critical temperature Tc is (approximately) given
    by a universal constant, independent of the microscopic details of the fermionic
    interaction. This universality has rigorously been proven quite recently in three
    spatial dimensions and three different limiting regimes: weak coupling, low density
    and high density. The goal of this short note is to extend the universal behavior
    to lower dimensions d=1,2 and give an exemplary proof in the weak coupling limit."
