text: "Animals exhibit a remarkable ability to learn and remember new behaviors,
skills, and associations throughout their lifetime. These capabilities are made
possible thanks to a variety of\r\nchanges in the brain throughout adulthood,
regrouped under the term \"plasticity\". Some cells\r\nin the brain —neurons—
and specifically changes in the connections between neurons, the\r\nsynapses,
were shown to be crucial for the formation, selection, and consolidation of memories\r\nfrom
past experiences. These ongoing changes of synapses across time are called synaptic\r\nplasticity.
Understanding how a myriad of biochemical processes operating at individual\r\nsynapses
can somehow work in concert to give rise to meaningful changes in behavior is
a\r\nfascinating problem and an active area of research.\r\nHowever, the experimental
search for the precise plasticity mechanisms at play in the brain\r\nis daunting,
as it is difficult to control and observe synapses during learning. Theoretical\r\napproaches
have thus been the default method to probe the plasticity-behavior connection.
Such\r\nstudies attempt to extract unifying principles across synapses and model
all observed synaptic\r\nchanges using plasticity rules: equations that govern
the evolution of synaptic strengths across\r\ntime in neuronal network models.
These rules can use many relevant quantities to determine\r\nthe magnitude of
synaptic changes, such as the precise timings of pre- and postsynaptic\r\naction
potentials, the recent neuronal activity levels, the state of neighboring synapses,
etc.\r\nHowever, analytical studies rely heavily on human intuition and are forced
to make simplifying\r\nassumptions about plasticity rules.\r\nIn this thesis,
we aim to assist and augment human intuition in this search for plasticity rules.\r\nWe
explore whether a numerical approach could automatically discover the plasticity
rules\r\nthat elicit desired behaviors in large networks of interconnected neurons.
This approach is\r\ndubbed meta-learning synaptic plasticity: learning plasticity
rules which themselves will make\r\nneuronal networks learn how to solve a desired
task. We first write all the potential plasticity\r\nmechanisms to consider using
a single expression with adjustable parameters. We then optimize\r\nthese plasticity
parameters using evolutionary strategies or Bayesian inference on tasks known\r\nto
involve synaptic plasticity, such as familiarity detection and network stabilization.\r\nWe
show that these automated approaches are powerful tools, able to complement established\r\nanalytical
methods. By comprehensively screening plasticity rules at all synapse types in\r\nrealistic,
spiking neuronal network models, we discover entire sets of degenerate plausible\r\nplasticity
rules that reliably elicit memory-related behaviors. Our approaches allow for
more\r\nrobust experimental predictions, by abstracting out the idiosyncrasies
of individual plasticity\r\nrules, and provide fresh insights on synaptic plasticity
in spiking network models.\r\n"

text: "This Ph.D. thesis presents a detailed investigation into Variational Quantum
Algorithms\r\n(VQAs), a promising class of quantum algorithms that are well suited
for near-term quantum\r\ncomputation due to their moderate hardware requirements
and resilience to noise. Our\r\nprimary focus lies on two particular types of
VQAs: the Quantum Approximate Optimization\r\nAlgorithm (QAOA), used for solving
binary optimization problems, and the Variational Quantum\r\nEigensolver (VQE),
utilized for finding ground states of quantum many-body systems.\r\nIn the first
part of the thesis, we examine the issue of effective parameter initialization
for\r\nthe QAOA. The work demonstrates that random initialization of the QAOA
often leads to\r\nconvergence in local minima with sub-optimal performance. To
mitigate this issue, we propose\r\nan initialization of QAOA parameters based
on the Trotterized Quantum Annealing (TQA).\r\nWe show that TQA initialization
leads to the same performance as the best of an exponentially\r\nscaling number
of random initializations.\r\nThe second study introduces Transition States (TS),
stationary points with a single direction\r\nof descent, as a tool for systematically
exploring the QAOA optimization landscape. This\r\nleads us to propose a novel
greedy parameter initialization strategy that guarantees for the\r\nenergy to
decrease with increasing number of circuit layers.\r\nIn the third section, we
extend the QAOA to qudit systems, which are higher-dimensional\r\ngeneralizations
of qubits. This chapter provides theoretical insights and practical strategies
for\r\nleveraging the increased computational power of qudits in the context of
quantum optimization\r\nalgorithms and suggests a quantum circuit for implementing
the algorithm on an ion trap\r\nquantum computer.\r\nFinally, we propose an algorithm
to avoid “barren plateaus”, regions in parameter space with\r\nvanishing gradients
that obstruct efficient parameter optimization. This novel approach relies\r\non
defining a notion of weak barren plateaus based on the entropies of local reduced
density\r\nmatrices and showcases how these can be efficiently quantified using
shadow tomography.\r\nTo illustrate the approach we employ the strategy in the
VQE and show that it allows to\r\nsuccessfully avoid barren plateaus in the initialization
and throughout the optimization.\r\nTaken together, this thesis greatly enhances
our understanding of parameter initialization and\r\noptimization in VQAs, expands
the scope of QAOA to higher-dimensional quantum systems,\r\nand presents a method
to address the challenge of barren plateaus using the VQE. These\r\ninsights are
instrumental in advancing the field of near-term quantum computation."

text: Morphogens are signaling molecules that are known for their prominent role
in pattern formation within developing tissues. In addition to patterning, morphogens
also control tissue growth. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood.
We studied the role of morphogens in regulating tissue growth in the developing
vertebrate neural tube. In this system, opposing morphogen gradients of Shh and
BMP establish the dorsoventral pattern of neural progenitor domains. Perturbations
in these morphogen pathways result in alterations in tissue growth and cell cycle
progression, however, it has been unclear what cellular process is affected. To
address this, we analysed the rates of cell proliferation and cell death in mouse
mutants in which signaling is perturbed, as well as in chick neural plate explants
exposed to defined concentrations of signaling activators or inhibitors. Our results
indicated that the rate of cell proliferation was not altered in these assays.
By contrast, both the Shh and BMP signaling pathways had profound effects on neural
progenitor survival. Our results indicate that these pathways synergise to promote
cell survival within neural progenitors. Consistent with this, we found that progenitors
within the intermediate region of the neural tube, where the combined levels of
Shh and BMP are the lowest, are most prone to cell death when signaling activity
is inhibited. In addition, we found that downregulation of Shh results in increased
apoptosis within the roof plate, which is the dorsal source of BMP ligand production.
This revealed a cross-interaction between the Shh and BMP morphogen signaling
pathways that may be relevant for understanding how gradients scale in neural
tubes with different overall sizes. We further studied the mechanism acting downstream
of Shh in cell survival regulation using genetic and genomic approaches. We propose
that Shh transcriptionally regulates a non-canonical apoptotic pathway. Altogether,
our study points to a novel role of opposing morphogen gradients in tissue size
regulation and provides new insights into complex interactions between Shh and
BMP signaling gradients in the neural tube.

text: 'The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a variational quantum
algorithm, where a quantum computer implements a variational ansatz consisting
of p layers of alternating unitary operators and a classical computer is used
to optimize the variational parameters. For a random initialization, the optimization
typically leads to local minima with poor performance, motivating the search for
initialization strategies of QAOA variational parameters. Although numerous heuristic
initializations exist, an analytical understanding and performance guarantees
for large p remain evasive.We introduce a greedy initialization of QAOA which
guarantees improving performance with an increasing number of layers. Our main
result is an analytic construction of 2p + 1 transition states—saddle points with
a unique negative curvature direction—for QAOA with p + 1 layers that use the
local minimum of QAOA with p layers. Transition states connect to new local minima,
which are guaranteed to lower the energy compared to the minimum found for p layers.
We use the GREEDY procedure to navigate the exponentially increasing with p number
of local minima resulting from the recursive application of our analytic construction.
The performance of the GREEDY procedure matches available initialization strategies
while providing a guarantee for the minimal energy to decrease with an increasing
number of layers p. '

text: "During my Ph.D. research, I managed a series of projects, each focused on
the\r\nmechanisms underlying cell migration. My work involved an in-depth examination
of\r\nthe complex strategies employed by neutrophils, with a specific focus on
their ability to\r\nsynchronize spatial-temporal cues and optimize their gradient
perception. However, it\r\nis essential to acknowledge that not all projects yielded
successful results, as some\r\nideas were discontinued and are archived for future
reference within this thesis.\r\nMy main project investigated how neutrophils
decode spatial cues for precise navigation. Human neutrophils showcased distinct
movement patterns based on source\r\ntype – linear or point-like. By combining
single-cell tracking in 3D environments with\r\nproxy dyes, this project linked
cell behaviors to gradient changes, revealing a stronger\r\nresponse to semi-exponential
gradients from point sources. In addition, neutrophils\r\nexhibited oscillating
migration speeds, using speed minima to adjust trajectories toward sources. Experiencing
continuous concentration changes, they accelerated over\r\ntime and employed a
\"Run and Fumble\" strategy, alternating between consistent runs\r\nand strategic
\"tumbles\" for efficient navigation.\r\nThe project extended to the possibility
of cells amplifying perceived gradients by\r\nenclosing their immediate surroundings,
pushing attractants forward for enrichment\r\nwhile depleting it at the cell rear.
Microfluidic devices were employed, and various experimental parameters configurations
were optimized. Although significant differences\r\nin migratory efficacy were
detected across pore sizes and device heights, quantifying\r\ngradient manipulation
effects proved challenging.\r\nThe \"Laser-Assisted Protein Adsorption by Photobleaching\"
(LAPAP) project was\r\npromising, as it allowed the printing of gradients. Initially
successful with dendritic cells,\r\nwe aimed to adapt it for neutrophils. Through
extensive experimentation with multiple\r\nparameters, we attempted to trigger
responses from neutrophils. Despite these efforts\r\nand collaboration, the project
failed due to practical challenges and limitations.\r\nFacing a lack of neutrophil-like
cells at IST, we initially established the SCF-HoxB8\r\nprimary murine cell line.
Despite their existence, their migratory behavior was largely\r\nunexplored due
to potential limitations. Through differentiation protocol refinements we\r\nenhanced
their migratory capabilities, though their capacity still lagged behind human\r\nneutrophils.
Despite this, the improved migration potential of these cells pointed toward\r\ntheir
utility for in vitro murine neutrophil migration studies."

text: Although much is known about how single neurons in the hippocampus represent
an animal's position, how circuit interactions contribute to spatial coding is
less well understood. Using a novel statistical estimator and theoretical modeling,
both developed in the framework of maximum entropy models, we reveal highly structured
CA1 cell-cell interactions in male rats during open field exploration. The statistics
of these interactions depend on whether the animal is in a familiar or novel environment.
In both conditions the circuit interactions optimize the encoding of spatial information,
but for regimes that differ in the informativeness of their spatial inputs. This
structure facilitates linear decodability, making the information easy to read
out by downstream circuits. Overall, our findings suggest that the efficient coding
hypothesis is not only applicable to individual neuron properties in the sensory
periphery, but also to neural interactions in the central brain.

text: To navigate through diverse tissues, migrating cells must balance persistent
self-propelled motion with adaptive behaviors to circumvent obstacles. We identify
a curvature-sensing mechanism underlying obstacle evasion in immune-like cells.
Specifically, we propose that actin polymerization at the advancing edge of migrating
cells is inhibited by the curvature-sensitive BAR domain protein Snx33 in regions
with inward plasma membrane curvature. The genetic perturbation of this machinery
reduces the cells’ capacity to evade obstructions combined with faster and more
persistent cell migration in obstacle-free environments. Our results show how
cells can read out their surface topography and utilize actin and plasma membrane
biophysics to interpret their environment, allowing them to adaptively decide
if they should move ahead or turn away. On the basis of our findings, we propose
that the natural diversity of BAR domain proteins may allow cells to tune their
curvature sensing machinery to match the shape characteristics in their environment.

text: Statistics of natural scenes are not uniform - their structure varies dramatically
from ground to sky. It remains unknown whether these non-uniformities are reflected
in the large-scale organization of the early visual system and what benefits such
adaptations would confer. Here, by relying on the efficient coding hypothesis,
we predict that changes in the structure of receptive fields across visual space
increase the efficiency of sensory coding. We show experimentally that, in agreement
with our predictions, receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells change their
shape along the dorsoventral retinal axis, with a marked surround asymmetry at
the visual horizon. Our work demonstrates that, according to principles of efficient
coding, the panoramic structure of natural scenes is exploited by the retina across
space and cell-types.

text: Differentiated X chromosomes are expected to have higher rates of adaptive
divergence than autosomes, if new beneficial mutations are recessive (the “faster-X
effect”), largely because these mutations are immediately exposed to selection
in males. The evolution of X chromosomes after they stop recombining in males,
but before they become hemizygous, has not been well explored theoretically. We
use the diffusion approximation to infer substitution rates of beneficial and
deleterious mutations under such a scenario. Our results show that selection is
less efficient on diploid X loci than on autosomal and hemizygous X loci under
a wide range of parameters. This “slower-X” effect is stronger for genes affecting
primarily (or only) male fitness, and for sexually antagonistic genes. These unusual
dynamics suggest that some of the peculiar features of X chromosomes, such as
the differential accumulation of genes with sex-specific functions, may start
arising earlier than previously appreciated.

text: Recent quantum technologies have established precise quantum control of various
microscopic systems using electromagnetic waves. Interfaces based on cryogenic
cavity electro-optic systems are particularly promising, due to the direct interaction
between microwave and optical fields in the quantum regime. Quantum optical control
of superconducting microwave circuits has been precluded so far due to the weak
electro-optical coupling as well as quasi-particles induced by the pump laser.
Here we report the coherent control of a superconducting microwave cavity using
laser pulses in a multimode electro-optical device at millikelvin temperature
with near-unity cooperativity. Both the stationary and instantaneous responses
of the microwave and optical modes comply with the coherent electro-optical interaction,
and reveal only minuscule amount of excess back-action with an unanticipated time
delay. Our demonstration enables wide ranges of applications beyond quantum transductions,
from squeezing and quantum non-demolition measurements of microwave fields, to
entanglement generation and hybrid quantum networks.

text: The rapid development of superconducting quantum hardware is expected to run
into significant I/O restrictions due to the need for large-scale error correction
in a cryogenic environment. Classical data centers rely on fiber-optic interconnects
to remove similar networking bottlenecks and to allow for reconfigurable, software-defined
infrastructures. In the same spirit, ultra-cold electro-optic links have been
proposed and used to generate qubit control signals, or to replace cryogenic readout
electronics. So far, the latter suffered from either low efficiency, low bandwidth
and the need for additional microwave drives, or breaking of Cooper pairs and
qubit states. In this work we realize electro-optic microwave photonics at millikelvin
temperatures to implement a radio-over-fiber qubit readout that does not require
any active or passive cryogenic microwave equipment. We demonstrate all-optical
single-shot-readout by means of the Jaynes-Cummings nonlinearity in a circulator-free
readout scheme. Importantly, we do not observe any direct radiation impact on
the qubit state as verified with high-fidelity quantum-non-demolition measurements
despite the absence of shielding elements. This compatibility between superconducting
circuits and telecom wavelength light is not only a prerequisite to establish
modular quantum networks, it is also relevant for multiplexed readout of superconducting
photon detectors and classical superconducting logic. Moreover, this experiment
showcases the potential of electro-optic radiometry in harsh environments - an
electronics-free sensing principle that extends into the THz regime with applications
in radio astronomy, planetary missions and earth observation.

in multiple fly species (Diptera) after being conserved for more than 450 MY.
The long evolutionary distance between Diptera and other sequenced insect clades
makes it difficult to infer what could have contributed to this sudden increase
in rate of turnover. Here, we produce the first genome and transcriptome of a
long overlooked sister-order to Diptera: Mecoptera. We compare the scorpionfly
Panorpa cognata X-chromosome gene content, expression, and structure, to that
of several dipteran species as well as more distantly-related insect orders (Orthoptera
and Blattodea). We find high conservation of gene content between the mecopteran
X and the dipteran Muller F element, as well as several shared biological features,
such as the presence of dosage compensation and a low amount of genetic diversity,
consistent with a low recombination rate. However, the two homologous X chromosomes
differ strikingly in their size and number of genes they carry. Our results therefore
support a common ancestry of the mecopteran and ancestral dipteran X chromosomes,
and suggest that Muller element F shrank in size and gene content after the split
of Diptera and Mecoptera, which may have contributed to its turnover in dipteran
insects.'

text: The ability to control the direction of scattered light is crucial to provide
flexibility and scalability for a wide range of on-chip applications, such as
integrated photonics, quantum information processing, and nonlinear optics. Tunable
directionality can be achieved by applying external magnetic fields that modify
optical selection rules, by using nonlinear effects, or interactions with vibrations.
However, these approaches are less suitable to control microwave photon propagation
inside integrated superconducting quantum devices. Here, we demonstrate on-demand
tunable directional scattering based on two periodically modulated transmon qubits
coupled to a transmission line at a fixed distance. By changing the relative phase
between the modulation tones, we realize unidirectional forward or backward photon
scattering. Such an in-situ switchable mirror represents a versatile tool for
intra- and inter-chip microwave photonic processors. In the future, a lattice
of qubits can be used to realize topological circuits that exhibit strong nonreciprocity
or chirality.

text: Immune responses rely on the rapid and coordinated migration of leukocytes.
Whereas it is well established that single-cell migration is often guided by gradients
of chemokines and other chemoattractants, it remains poorly understood how these
gradients are generated, maintained, and modulated. By combining experimental
data with theory on leukocyte chemotaxis guided by the G protein–coupled receptor
(GPCR) CCR7, we demonstrate that in addition to its role as the sensory receptor
that steers migration, CCR7 also acts as a generator and a modulator of chemotactic
gradients. Upon exposure to the CCR7 ligand CCL19, dendritic cells (DCs) effectively
internalize the receptor and ligand as part of the canonical GPCR desensitization
response. We show that CCR7 internalization also acts as an effective sink for
the chemoattractant, dynamically shaping the spatiotemporal distribution of the
chemokine. This mechanism drives complex collective migration patterns, enabling
DCs to create or sharpen chemotactic gradients. We further show that these self-generated
gradients can sustain the long-range guidance of DCs, adapt collective migration
patterns to the size and geometry of the environment, and provide a guidance cue
for other comigrating cells. Such a dual role of CCR7 as a GPCR that both senses
and consumes its ligand can thus provide a novel mode of cellular self-organization.

text: Despite its fundamental importance for development, the question of how organs
achieve their correct size and shape is poorly understood. This complex process
requires coordination between the generation of cell mass and the morphogenetic
mechanisms that sculpt tissues. These processes are regulated by morphogen signalling
pathways and mechanical forces. Yet, in many systems, it is unclear how biochemical
and mechanical signalling are quantitatively interpreted to determine the behaviours
of individual cells and how they contribute to growth and morphogenesis at the
tissue scale. In this review, we discuss the development of the vertebrate neural
tube and somites as an example of the state of knowledge, as well as the challenges
in understanding the mechanisms of tissue size control in vertebrate organogenesis.
We highlight how the recent advances in stem cell differentiation and organoid
approaches can be harnessed to provide new insights into this question.

text: The term “haplotype block” is commonly used in the developing field of haplotype-based
inference methods. We argue that the term should be defined based on the structure
of the Ancestral Recombination Graph (ARG), which contains complete information
on the ancestry of a sample. We use simulated examples to demonstrate key features
of the relationship between haplotype blocks and ancestral structure, emphasizing
the stochasticity of the processes that generate them. Even the simplest cases
of neutrality or of a “hard” selective sweep produce a rich structure, often missed
by commonly used statistics. We highlight a number of novel methods for inferring
haplotype structure, based on the full ARG, or on a sequence of trees, and illustrate
how they can be used to define haplotype blocks using an empirical data set. While
the advent of new, computationally efficient methods makes it possible to apply
these concepts broadly, they (and additional new methods) could benefit from adding
features to explore haplotype blocks, as we define them. Understanding and applying
the concept of the haplotype block will be essential to fully exploit long and
linked-read sequencing technologies.

text: "Proper operation of electro-optic I/Q modulators relies on precise adjustment
and control of the relative phase biases between the modulator’s internal interferometer
arms. We present an all-analog phase bias locking scheme where error signals are
obtained from the beat between the optical carrier and optical tones generated
by an auxiliary 2 MHz \U0001D445\U0001D439 tone to lock the phases of all three
involved interferometers for operation up to 10 GHz. With the developed method,
we demonstrate an I/Q modulator in carrier-suppressed single-sideband mode, where
the suppressed carrier and sideband are locked at optical power levels <−27dB\r\n
relative to the transmitted sideband. We describe a simple analytical model for
calculating the error signals and detail the implementation of the electronic
circuitry for the implementation of the method."

text: Arrays of Josephson junctions are governed by a competition between superconductivity
and repulsive Coulomb interactions, and are expected to exhibit diverging low-temperature
resistance when interactions exceed a critical level. Here we report a study of
the transport and microwave response of Josephson arrays with interactions exceeding
this level. Contrary to expectations, we observe that the array resistance drops
dramatically as the temperature is decreased—reminiscent of superconducting behaviour—and
then saturates at low temperature. Applying a magnetic field, we eventually observe
a transition to a highly resistive regime. These observations can be understood
within a theoretical picture that accounts for the effect of thermal fluctuations
on the insulating phase. On the basis of the agreement between experiment and
theory, we suggest that apparent superconductivity in our Josephson arrays arises
from melting the zero-temperature insulator.
