This feature makes the emergent physics that involves rotations rather intricate, but instrumental for studies of highly-interconnected many-body systems. In the presence of an environment, rotational properties of an object change, due to the interaction with particles of the environment.

This famous\r\nquotation of the brilliant Richard Feynman within a conference talk on \"Simulating physics\r\nwith computers.” is often reverently praised as the origin of the field of quantum computing.\r\nThe idea was to use quantum mechanical systems itself to simulate \"Nature\", which is\r\ninherently quantum mechanical. Now, 43 years later, the theoretical framework of how such\r\na computer can operate has been developed. Two main important concepts for a potential\r\nquantum supremacy, superposition and entanglement, have been exploited to design quantum\r\nalgorithms to significantly speed up certain tasks. Yet, the specific hardware implementation\r\nis still far from being certain, in fact the race between the most promising platforms such as\r\nsuperconducting qubits, bosonic codes, cold atoms, trapped ions, optical computing as well\r\nas spin qubits has recently intensified. If one also includes the most mature applications of\r\nquantum communication technologies, secure quantum key distribution and quantum random\r\nnumber generators, as part of a quantum information technology ecosystem, we are confronted\r\nwith a plethora of different materials, concepts, and also operation frequencies. While\r\nsuperconducting qubits, bosonic codes and spin qubits work in the regime of approximately 5\r\nGHz and are controlled by electrical fields, trapped ions, cold atoms, and optical quantum\r\ncomputing operate with light in the infrared or visible range.\r\nConsequently, a quantum frequency converter or microwave-optic transducer is required\r\nto interface the different frequency domains or establish a long-range network connection\r\nwith suitable telecom fibers. In fact, the combination of different frequency regimes is also\r\nan essential part in our classical modern communication network, where computations are\r\nperformed in electrical circuits and the information exchange over longer distances happens\r\nvia optical fibers. However, the specific challenges specific to building a quantum computer,\r\nalso apply to the development of such a quantum frequency transducer: 1) As we deal with\r\nsingle excitations as the carrier of information, i.e. the smallest possible quantity, the signal\r\ncan easily be corrupted by other noise sources which needs to be avoided by all means. This\r\nis also the reason why microwave quantum computers operate at temperature environments\r\nclose to zero temperature (< 0.1 Kelvin) to avoid corruption by thermal noise. 2) The\r\nfrequency interface generally needs to preserve the phase of the signal as an essential part\r\nof the quantum state. And 3) Quantum signals cannot be copied which would be a typical\r\nstrategy to account for errors in classical computers. And finally, there is a challenge specific to\r\nmicrowave-optic transducers: While quantum computers are operating in one specific frequency\r\ndomain, microwave-optic transducers combine microwave and optical fields in one device.\r\nThis results in the particular challenge that high-energy optical radiation, which is usually\r\nwell-shielded from superconducting microwave quantum processors, are now an essential part\r\nof the device. The concomitant optical radiation in the operating transducer will inevitably\r\nhave a detrimental effect on the superconducting microwave components. Together with the\r\nrequirement of minimal background noise for quantum-limited operation as described above,\r\nv\r\nheating from the absorption of optical photons within the same device where single microwave\r\nexcitations are processed forms a formidable challenge.\r\nThis thesis aims to address this challenge by developing microwave-optic transducers where\r\nthe impact of optical absorption on superconducting circuits in general and superconducting\r\nqubits specifically can be mitigated. In our first approach, we developed a compact device\r\nwith optimized interaction strengths between the different frequency domains. This minimizes\r\nthe optical powers used for transducer operation and thus the optical absorption heating. This\r\nwork was - to the best of our knowledge - the first comprehensive noise study, in an integrated\r\nmicrowave-optic transducer. Unfortunately, we saw that the optical absorption heating added\r\nnoise way above a single excitation. Consequently, a potential quantum signal would have\r\nbeen buried in the noise, added by the transduction.\r\nBuilding on this insight, we utilized a three-dimensional microwave-optic transducer instead\r\nof an integrated device. The larger heat capacity of the macroscopic device with a size\r\nof a few millimeters can absorb a larger fraction of the optical heating before it increases\r\nthe temperature of the device. This allowed us to interface the transducer directly with a\r\nsuperconducting qubit to readout the qubit state in a novel all-optical manner.

While some thrive in uniform (homogeneous) landscapes where environmental conditions stay relatively consistent across space, others traverse the complexities of spatially heterogeneous terrains. Comprehending how species are distributed and how they interact within these landscapes holds the key to gaining insights into their evolutionary dynamics while also informing conservation and management strategies.\r\n\r\nFor species inhabiting heterogeneous landscapes, when the rate of dispersal is low compared to spatial fluctuations in selection pressure, localized adaptations may emerge. Such adaptation in response to varying selection strengths plays an important role in the persistence of populations in our rapidly changing world. Hence, species in nature are continuously in a struggle to adapt to local environmental conditions, to ensure their continued survival. Natural populations can often adapt in time scales short enough for evolutionary changes to influence ecological dynamics and vice versa, thereby creating a feedback between evolution and demography. The analysis of this feedback and the relative contributions of gene flow, demography, drift, and natural selection to genetic variation and differentiation has remained a recurring theme in evolutionary biology. Nevertheless, the effective role of these forces in maintaining variation and shaping patterns of diversity is not fully understood. Even in homogeneous environments devoid of local adaptations, such understanding remains elusive. Understanding this feedback is crucial, for example in determining the conditions under which extinction risk can be mitigated in peripheral populations subject to deleterious mutation accumulation at the edges of species’ ranges\r\nas well as in highly fragmented populations.\r\n\r\nIn this thesis we explore both uniform and spatially heterogeneous metapopulations, investigating and providing theoretical insights into the dynamics of local adaptation in the latter and examining the dynamics of load and extinction as well as the impact of joint ecological and evolutionary (eco-evolutionary) dynamics in the former. The thesis is divided into 5 chapters.\r\n\r\nChapter 1 provides a general introduction into the subject matter, clarifying concepts and ideas used throughout the thesis. In chapter 2, we explore how fast a species distributed across a heterogeneous landscape adapts to changing conditions marked by alterations in carrying capacity, selection pressure, and migration rate.\r\n\r\nIn chapter 3, we investigate how migration selection and drift influences adaptation and the maintenance of variation in a metapopulation with three habitats, an extension of previous models of adaptation in two habitats. We further develop analytical approximations for the critical threshold required for polymorphism to persist.\r\n\r\nThe focus of chapter 4 of the thesis is on understanding the interplay between ecology and evolution as coupled processes. We investigate how eco-evolutionary feedback between migration, selection, drift, and demography influences eco-evolutionary outcomes in marginal populations subject to deleterious mutation accumulation. Using simulations as well as theoretical approximations of the coupled dynamics of population size and allele frequency, we analyze how gene flow from a large mainland source influences genetic load and population size on an island (i.e., in a marginal population) under genetically realistic assumptions. Analyses of this sort are important because small isolated populations, are repeatedly affected by complex interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes, which can lead to their death. Understanding these interactions can therefore provide an insight into the conditions under which extinction risk can be mitigated in peripheral populations thus, contributing to conservation and restoration efforts.\r\n\r\nChapter 5 extends the analysis in chapter 4 to consider the dynamics of load (due to deleterious mutation accumulation) and extinction risk in a metapopulation. We explore the role of gene flow, selection, and dominance on load and extinction risk and further pinpoint critical thresholds required for metapopulation persistence.\r\n\r\nOverall this research contributes to our understanding of ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that shape species’ persistence in fragmented landscapes, a crucial foundation for successful conservation efforts and biodiversity management."}],"citation":{"ista":"Olusanya OO. 2024.

We call this - the quantum noise. Certain physical processes allow this quantum noise to get correlated in conjugate physical variables. These quantum correlations can be used to go beyond the potential of our inherently noisy universe and obtain a quantum advantage over the classical applications. \r\n\r\nQuantum noise being inherent also means that, at the fundamental level, the physical quantities are not well defined and therefore, objects can stay in multiple states at the same time. For example, the position of a particle not being well defined means that the particle is in multiple positions at the same time. About 4 decades ago, we started exploring the possibility of using objects which can be in multiple states at the same time to increase the dimensionality in computation. Thus, the field of quantum computing was born. We discovered that using quantum entanglement, a property closely related to quantum correlations, can be used to speed up computation of certain problems, such as factorisation of large numbers, faster than any known classical algorithm. Thus began the pursuit to make quantum computers a reality. \r\n\r\nTill date, we have explored quantum control over many physical systems including photons, spins, atoms, ions and even simple circuits made up of superconducting material. However, there persists one ubiquitous theme. The more readily a system interacts with an external field or matter, the more easily we can control it. But this also means that such a system can easily interact with a noisy environment and quickly lose its coherence. Consequently, such systems like electron spins need to be protected from the environment to ensure the longevity of their coherence. Other systems like nuclear spins are naturally protected as they do not interact easily with the environment. But, due to the same reason, it is harder to interact with such systems. \r\n\r\nAfter decades of experimentation with various systems, we are convinced that no one type of quantum system would be the best for all the quantum applications. We would need hybrid systems which are all interconnected - much like the current internet where all sorts of devices can all talk to each other - but now for quantum devices. A quantum internet. \r\n\r\nOptical photons are the best contenders to carry information for the quantum internet. They can carry quantum information cheaply and without much loss - the same reasons which has made them the backbone of our current internet. Following this direction, many systems, like trapped ions, have already demonstrated successful quantum links over a large distances using optical photons. However, some of the most promising contenders for quantum computing which are based on microwave frequencies have been left behind. This is because high energy optical photons can adversely affect fragile low-energy microwave systems. \r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we present substantial progress on this missing quantum link between microwave and optics using electrooptical nonlinearities in lithium niobate. The nonlinearities are enhanced by using resonant cavities for all the involved modes leading to observation of strong direct coupling between optical and microwave frequencies. With this strong coupling we are not only able to achieve almost 100\\% internal conversion efficiency with low added noise, thus presenting a quantum-enabled transducer, but also we are able to observe novel effects such as cooling of a microwave mode using optics. The strong coupling regime also leads to direct observation of dynamical backaction effect between microwave and optical frequencies which are studied in detail here. Finally, we also report first observation of microwave-optics entanglement in form of two-mode squeezed vacuum squeezed 0.7dB below vacuum level. \r\nWith this new bridge between microwave and optics, the microwave-based quantum technologies can finally be a part of a quantum network which is based on optical photons - putting us one step closer to a future with quantum internet.

We call this - the quantum noise. Certain physical processes allow this quantum noise to get correlated in conjugate physical variables. These quantum correlations can be used to go beyond the potential of our inherently noisy universe and obtain a quantum advantage over the classical applications. \r\n\r\nQuantum noise being inherent also means that, at the fundamental level, the physical quantities are not well defined and therefore, objects can stay in multiple states at the same time. For example, the position of a particle not being well defined means that the particle is in multiple positions at the same time. About 4 decades ago, we started exploring the possibility of using objects which can be in multiple states at the same time to increase the dimensionality in computation. Thus, the field of quantum computing was born. We discovered that using quantum entanglement, a property closely related to quantum correlations, can be used to speed up computation of certain problems, such as factorisation of large numbers, faster than any known classical algorithm. Thus began the pursuit to make quantum computers a reality. \r\n\r\nTill date, we have explored quantum control over many physical systems including photons, spins, atoms, ions and even simple circuits made up of superconducting material. However, there persists one ubiquitous theme. The more readily a system interacts with an external field or matter, the more easily we can control it. But this also means that such a system can easily interact with a noisy environment and quickly lose its coherence. Consequently, such systems like electron spins need to be protected from the environment to ensure the longevity of their coherence. Other systems like nuclear spins are naturally protected as they do not interact easily with the environment. But, due to the same reason, it is harder to interact with such systems. \r\n\r\nAfter decades of experimentation with various systems, we are convinced that no one type of quantum system would be the best for all the quantum applications. We would need hybrid systems which are all interconnected - much like the current internet where all sorts of devices can all talk to each other - but now for quantum devices. A quantum internet. \r\n\r\nOptical photons are the best contenders to carry information for the quantum internet. They can carry quantum information cheaply and without much loss - the same reasons which has made them the backbone of our current internet. Following this direction, many systems, like trapped ions, have already demonstrated successful quantum links over a large distances using optical photons. However, some of the most promising contenders for quantum computing which are based on microwave frequencies have been left behind. This is because high energy optical photons can adversely affect fragile low-energy microwave systems. \r\n\r\nIn this thesis, we present substantial progress on this missing quantum link between microwave and optics using electrooptical nonlinearities in lithium niobate. The nonlinearities are enhanced by using resonant cavities for all the involved modes leading to observation of strong direct coupling between optical and microwave frequencies. With this strong coupling we are not only able to achieve almost 100\\% internal conversion efficiency with low added noise, thus presenting a quantum-enabled transducer, but also we are able to observe novel effects such as cooling of a microwave mode using optics. The strong coupling regime also leads to direct observation of dynamical backaction effect between microwave and optical frequencies which are studied in detail here. Finally, we also report first observation of microwave-optics entanglement in form of two-mode squeezed vacuum squeezed 0.7dB below vacuum level. \r\nWith this new bridge between microwave and optics, the microwave-based quantum technologies can finally be a part of a quantum network which is based on optical photons - putting us one step closer to a future with quantum internet.

It arises in many physical contexts. We are mostly concerned\r\nwith models applicable in the context of an impurity atom in a Bose-Einstein condensate as\r\nwell as the problem of electrons moving in polar crystals.\r\nThe model has a simple structure in which the interaction of the particle with the field is given\r\nby a term linear in the field’s creation and annihilation operators. In this work, we investigate\r\nthe properties of this model by providing rigorous estimates on various energies relevant to the\r\nproblem. The estimates are obtained, for the most part, by suitable operator techniques which\r\nconstitute the principal mathematical substance of the thesis.\r\nThe first application of these techniques is to derive the polaron model rigorously from first\r\nprinciples, i.e., from a full microscopic quantum-mechanical many-body problem involving an\r\nimpurity in an otherwise homogeneous system. We accomplish this for the N + 1 Bose gas\r\nin the mean-field regime by showing that a suitable polaron-type Hamiltonian arises at weak\r\ninteractions as a low-energy effective theory for this problem.\r\nIn the second part, we investigate rigorously the ground state of the model at fixed momentum\r\nand for large values of the coupling constant. Qualitatively, the system is expected to display\r\na transition from the quasi-particle behavior at small momenta, where the dispersion relation\r\nis parabolic and the particle moves through the medium dragging along a cloud of phonons, to\r\nthe radiative behavior at larger momenta where the polaron decelerates and emits free phonons.\r\nAt the same time, in the strong coupling regime, the bosonic field is expected to behave purely\r\nclassically. Accordingly, the effective mass of the polaron at strong coupling is conjectured to\r\nbe asymptotically equal to the one obtained from the semiclassical counterpart of the problem,\r\nfirst studied by Landau and Pekar in the 1940s. For polaron models with regularized form\r\nfactors and phonon dispersion relations of superfluid type, i.e., bounded below by a linear\r\nfunction of the wavenumbers for all phonon momenta as in the interacting Bose gas, we prove\r\nthat for a large window of momenta below the radiation threshold, the energy-momentum\r\nrelation at strong coupling is indeed essentially a parabola with semi-latus rectum equal to the\r\nLandau–Pekar effective mass, as expected.\r\nFor the Fröhlich polaron describing electrons in polar crystals where the dispersion relation is\r\nof the optical type and the form factor is formally UV–singular due to the nature of the point\r\ncharge-dipole interaction, we are able to give the corresponding upper bound. In contrast to\r\nthe regular case, this requires the inclusion of the quantum fluctuations of the phonon field,\r\nwhich makes the problem considerably more difficult.\r\nThe results are supplemented by studies on the absolute ground-state energy at strong coupling,\r\na proof of the divergence of the effective mass with the coupling constant for a wide class of\r\npolaron models, as well as the discussion of the apparent UV singularity of the Fröhlich model\r\nand the application of the techniques used for its removal for the energy estimates.\r\n","lang":"eng"}],"citation":{"ista":"Mysliwy K. 2022.

The small-scale interactions of yarns colliding with and pulling on each\r\nother result in drastically different large-scale stretching and bending behavior, introducing\r\nanisotropy, curling, and more. While simulating cloth as individual yarns can reproduce this\r\ncomplexity and match the quality of real fabric, it may be too computationally expensive for\r\nlarge fabrics. On the other hand, continuum-based approaches do not need to discretize the\r\ncloth at a stitch-level, but it is non-trivial to find a material model that would replicate the\r\nlarge-scale behavior of yarn fabrics, and they discard the intricate visual detail. In this thesis,\r\nwe discuss three methods to try and bridge the gap between small-scale and large-scale yarn\r\nmechanics using numerical homogenization: fitting a continuum model to periodic yarn simulations, adding mechanics-aware yarn detail onto thin-shell simulations, and quantitatively\r\nfitting yarn parameters to physical measurements of real fabric.\r\nTo start, we present a method for animating yarn-level cloth effects using a thin-shell solver.\r\nWe first use a large number of periodic yarn-level simulations to build a model of the potential\r\nenergy density of the cloth, and then use it to compute forces in a thin-shell simulator. The\r\nresulting simulations faithfully reproduce expected effects like the stiffening of woven fabrics\r\nand the highly deformable nature and anisotropy of knitted fabrics at a fraction of the cost of\r\nfull yarn-level simulation.\r\nWhile our thin-shell simulations are able to capture large-scale yarn mechanics, they lack\r\nthe rich visual detail of yarn-level simulations. Therefore, we propose a method to animate\r\nyarn-level cloth geometry on top of an underlying deforming mesh in a mechanics-aware\r\nfashion in real time. Using triangle strains to interpolate precomputed yarn geometry, we are\r\nable to reproduce effects such as knit loops tightening under stretching at negligible cost.\r\nFinally, we introduce a methodology for inverse-modeling of yarn-level mechanics of cloth,\r\nbased on the mechanical response of fabrics in the real world. We compile a database from\r\nphysical tests of several knitted fabrics used in the textile industry spanning diverse physical\r\nproperties like stiffness, nonlinearity, and anisotropy. We then develop a system for approximating these mechanical responses with yarn-level cloth simulation, using homogenized\r\nshell models to speed up computation and adding some small-but-necessary extensions to\r\nyarn-level models used in computer graphics.\r\n"}],"citation":{"ista":"Sperl G. 2022.

Plants are\r\nsessile organisms, thus to compensate for their lack of mobility, they evolved a variety of\r\nmechanisms enabling them to flexibly adjust their physiological, growth and developmental\r\nprocesses to fluctuating temperatures and to survive in harsh environments. While these unique\r\nadaptation abilities provide an important evolutionary advantage, overall modulation of plant\r\ngrowth and developmental program due to non-optimal temperature negatively affects biomass\r\nproduction, crop productivity or sensitivity to pathogens. Thus, understanding molecular\r\nprocesses underlying plant adaptation to increased temperature can provide important\r\nresources for breeding strategies to ensure sufficient agricultural food production.\r\nAn increase in ambient temperature by a few degrees leads to profound changes in organ growth\r\nincluding enhanced hypocotyl elongation, expansion of petioles, hyponastic growth of leaves and\r\ncotyledons, collectively named thermomorphogenesis (Casal & Balasubramanian, 2019). Auxin,\r\none of the best-studied growth hormones, plays an essential role in this process by direct\r\nactivation of transcriptional and non-transcriptional processes resulting in elongation growth\r\n(Majda & Robert, 2018).To modulate hypocotyl growth in response to high ambient temperature\r\n(hAT), auxin needs to be redistributed accordingly. PINs, auxin efflux transporters, are key\r\ncomponents of the polar auxin transport (PAT) machinery, which controls the amount and\r\ndirection of auxin translocated in the plant tissues and organs(Adamowski & Friml, 2015). Hence,\r\nPIN-mediated transport is tightly linked with thermo-morphogenesis, and interference with PAT\r\nthrough either chemical or genetic means dramatically affecting the adaptive responses to hAT.\r\nIntriguingly, despite the key role of PIN mediated transport in growth response to hAT, whether\r\nand how PINs at the level of expression adapt to fluctuation in temperature is scarcely\r\nunderstood.\r\nWith genetic, molecular and advanced bio-imaging approaches, we demonstrate the role of PIN\r\nauxin transporters in the regulation of hypocotyl growth in response to hAT. We show that via\r\nadjustment of PIN3, PIN4 and PIN7 expression in cotyledons and hypocotyls, auxin distribution is modulated thereby determining elongation pattern of epidermal cells at hAT. Furthermore, we\r\nidentified three Zinc-Finger (ZF) transcription factors as novel molecular components of the\r\nthermo-regulatory network, which through negative regulation of PIN transcription adjust the\r\ntransport of auxin at hAT. Our results suggest that the ZF-PIN module might be a part of the\r\nnegative feedback loop attenuating the activity of the thermo-sensing pathway to restrain\r\nexaggerated growth and developmental responses to hAT."}]},{"article_processing_charge":"Yes (via OA deal)","title":"MOD: A novel machine-learning optimal-filtering method for accurate and efficient detection of subthreshold synaptic events in vivo","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1872-678X"],"issn":["0165-0270"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","department":[{"_id":"PeJo"},{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"year":"2021","publication_status":"published","publisher":"Elsevier","external_id":{"isi":["000661088500005"],"pmid":["33711356"]},"pmid":1,"day":"09","oa":1,"type":"journal_article","quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"692692","name":"Biophysics and circuit function of a giant cortical glutamatergic synapse","_id":"25B7EB9E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","call_identifier":"H2020"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"25C5A090-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Synaptic communication in neuronal microcircuits","grant_number":"Z00312"}],"isi":1,"date_created":"2021-04-18T22:01:39Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2021-04-19T08:30:22Z","article_type":"original","_id":"9329","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","doi":"10.1016/j.jneumeth.2021.109125","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"SSU"}],"month":"03","acknowledgement":"This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement number 692692 to P.J.) and the Fond zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung (Z 312-B27, Wittgenstein award to P.J.).

However, detecting excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) or currents (EPSCs) in behaving animals remains challenging, because of unfavorable signal-to-noise ratio, high frequency, fluctuating amplitude, and variable time course of synaptic events.\r\nNew method: We developed a method for synaptic event detection, termed MOD (Machine-learning Optimal-filtering Detection-procedure), which combines concepts of supervised machine learning and optimal Wiener filtering. Experts were asked to manually score short epochs of data. The algorithm was trained to obtain the optimal filter coefficients of a Wiener filter and the optimal detection threshold. Scored and unscored data were then processed with the optimal filter, and events were detected as peaks above threshold.\r\nResults: We challenged MOD with EPSP traces in vivo in mice during spatial navigation and EPSC traces in vitro in slices under conditions of enhanced transmitter release. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was, on average, 0.894 for in vivo and 0.969 for in vitro data sets, indicating high detection accuracy and efficiency.\r\nComparison with existing methods: When benchmarked using a (1 − AUC)−1 metric, MOD outperformed previous methods (template-fit, deconvolution, and Bayesian methods) by an average factor of 3.13 for in vivo data sets, but showed comparable (template-fit, deconvolution) or higher (Bayesian) computational efficacy.\r\nConclusions: MOD may become an important new tool for large-scale, real-time analysis of synaptic activity."}],"has_accepted_license":"1"},{"status":"public","author":[{"last_name":"Vandael","orcid":"0000-0001-7577-1676","first_name":"David H","id":"3AE48E0A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Vandael, David H"},{"first_name":"Yuji","orcid":"0000-0003-0408-6094","last_name":"Okamoto","id":"3337E116-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Okamoto, Yuji"},{"first_name":"Peter M","last_name":"Jonas","orcid":"0000-0001-5001-4804","full_name":"Jonas, Peter M","id":"353C1B58-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"}],"publication":"Nature Communications","issue":"1","ec_funded":1,"volume":12,"acknowledgement":"We thank Drs.

Post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) is the most powerful form of plasticity at this synaptic connection. It is widely believed that mossy fiber PTP is an entirely presynaptic phenomenon, implying that PTP induction is input-specific, and requires neither activity of multiple inputs nor stimulation of postsynaptic neurons. To directly test cooperativity and associativity, we made paired recordings between single mossy fiber terminals and postsynaptic CA3 pyramidal neurons in rat brain slices. By stimulating non-overlapping mossy fiber inputs converging onto single CA3 neurons, we confirm that PTP is input-specific and non-cooperative. Unexpectedly, mossy fiber PTP exhibits anti-associative induction properties. EPSCs show only minimal PTP after combined pre- and postsynaptic high-frequency stimulation with intact postsynaptic Ca2+ signaling, but marked PTP in the absence of postsynaptic spiking and after suppression of postsynaptic Ca2+ signaling (10 mM EGTA). PTP is largely recovered by inhibitors of voltage-gated R- and L-type Ca2+ channels, group II mGluRs, and vacuolar-type H+-ATPase, suggesting the involvement of retrograde vesicular glutamate signaling. Transsynaptic regulation of PTP extends the repertoire of synaptic computations, implementing a brake on mossy fiber detonation and a “smart teacher” function of hippocampal mossy fiber synapses.","lang":"eng"}],"keyword":["general physics and astronomy","general biochemistry","genetics and molecular biology","general chemistry"],"intvolume":"        12","date_updated":"2025-06-12T06:28:45Z","year":"2021","publication_status":"published","OA_type":"gold","publisher":"Springer","department":[{"_id":"PeJo"}],"type":"journal_article","external_id":{"pmid":["34006874"],"isi":["000655481800014"]},"pmid":1,"day":"18","oa":1,"article_processing_charge":"Yes","title":"Transsynaptic modulation of presynaptic short-term plasticity in hippocampal mossy fiber synapses","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2041-1723"]},"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_type":"original","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"OA_place":"publisher","file_date_updated":"2021-12-17T11:34:50Z","doi":"10.1038/s41467-021-23153-5","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"SSU"}],"_id":"9778","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","project":[{"grant_number":"692692","call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Biophysics and circuit function of a giant cortical glutamatergic synapse","_id":"25B7EB9E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"25C5A090-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Synaptic communication in neuronal microcircuits","grant_number":"Z00312"}],"quality_controlled":"1","date_created":"2021-08-06T07:22:55Z","isi":1},{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"The design and verification of concurrent systems remains an open challenge due to the non-determinism that arises from the inter-process communication. In particular, concurrent programs are notoriously difficult both to be written correctly and to be analyzed formally, as complex thread interaction has to be accounted for. The difficulties are further exacerbated when concurrent programs get executed on modern-day hardware, which contains various buffering and caching mechanisms for efficiency reasons. This causes further subtle non-determinism, which can often produce very unintuitive behavior of the concurrent programs. Model checking is at the forefront of tackling the verification problem, where the task is to decide, given as input a concurrent system and a desired property, whether the system satisfies the property. The inherent state-space explosion problem in model checking of concurrent systems causes naïve explicit methods not to scale, thus more inventive methods are required. One such method is stateless model checking (SMC), which explores in memory-efficient manner the program executions rather than the states of the program. State-of-the-art SMC is typically coupled with partial order reduction (POR) techniques, which argue that certain executions provably produce identical system behavior, thus limiting the amount of executions one needs to explore in order to cover all possible behaviors. Another method to tackle the state-space explosion is symbolic model checking, where the considered techniques operate on a succinct implicit representation of the input system rather than explicitly accessing the system. In this thesis we present new techniques for verification of concurrent systems. We present several novel POR methods for SMC of concurrent programs under various models of semantics, some of which account for write-buffering mechanisms. Additionally, we present novel algorithms for symbolic model checking of finite-state concurrent systems, where the desired property of the systems is to ensure a formally defined notion of fairness."}],"citation":{"ista":"Toman V. 2021.

Several synaptic mechanisms of pattern separation have been proposed, including code expansion, inhibition and plasticity; however, which of these mechanisms play a role in the entorhinal cortex (EC)–dentate gyrus (DG)–CA3 circuit, a classical pattern separation circuit, remains unclear. Here we show that a biologically realistic, full-scale EC–DG–CA3 circuit model, including granule cells (GCs) and parvalbumin-positive inhibitory interneurons (PV+-INs) in the DG, is an efficient pattern separator. Both external gamma-modulated inhibition and internal lateral inhibition mediated by PV+-INs substantially contributed to pattern separation. Both local connectivity and fast signaling at GC–PV+-IN synapses were important for maximum effectiveness. Similarly, mossy fiber synapses with conditional detonator properties contributed to pattern separation. By contrast, perforant path synapses with Hebbian synaptic plasticity and direct EC–CA3 connection shifted the network towards pattern completion. Our results demonstrate that the specific properties of cells and synapses optimize higher-order computations in biological networks and might be useful to improve the deep learning capabilities of technical networks.","lang":"eng"}],"related_material":{"link":[{"url":"https://ista.ac.at/en/news/spot-the-difference/","relation":"press_release"}],"record":[{"relation":"software","status":"public","id":"10110"}]},"date_published":"2021-12-16T00:00:00Z","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2662-8457"]},"title":"How connectivity rules and synaptic properties shape the efficacy of pattern separation in the entorhinal cortex–dentate gyrus–CA3 network","article_processing_charge":"No","type":"journal_article","oa":1,"day":"16","external_id":{"isi":["000888567500015"]},"publisher":"Springer Nature","year":"2021","publication_status":"published","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/647800","open_access":"1"}],"department":[{"_id":"PeJo"}],"date_created":"2022-03-04T08:32:36Z","isi":1,"project":[{"call_identifier":"H2020","name":"Biophysics and circuit function of a giant cortical glutamatergic synapse","_id":"25B7EB9E-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"692692"},{"_id":"25C5A090-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Synaptic communication in neuronal microcircuits","call_identifier":"FWF","grant_number":"Z00312"}],"quality_controlled":"1","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"SSU"}],"doi":"10.1038/s43588-021-00157-1","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Submitted Version","_id":"10816","article_type":"original","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"file_date_updated":"2022-06-18T22:30:03Z"},{"citation":{"ista":"Vandael DH, Borges Merjane C, Zhang X, Jonas PM. 2020.

Although PTP has a uniquely large magnitude at hippocampal mossy fiber-CA3 pyramidal neuron synapses, it is unclear whether it can be induced by natural activity and whether its lifetime is sufficient to support short-term memory. We combined in vivo recordings from granule cells (GCs), in vitro paired recordings from mossy fiber terminals and postsynaptic CA3 neurons, and “flash and freeze” electron microscopy. PTP was induced at single synapses and showed a low induction threshold adapted to sparse GC activity in vivo. PTP was mainly generated by enlargement of the readily releasable pool of synaptic vesicles, allowing multiplicative interaction with other plasticity forms. PTP was associated with an increase in the docked vesicle pool, suggesting formation of structural “pool engrams.” Absence of presynaptic activity extended the lifetime of the potentiation, enabling prolonged information storage in the hippocampal network."}],"has_accepted_license":"1","corr_author":"1","date_published":"2020-08-05T00:00:00Z","tmp":{"legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)"},"related_material":{"link":[{"url":"https://ist.ac.at/en/news/possible-physical-trace-of-short-term-memory-found/","description":"News on IST Homepage","relation":"press_release"}]},"date_updated":"2025-04-15T08:29:09Z","intvolume":"       107","publication":"Neuron","issue":"3","status":"public","author":[{"full_name":"Vandael, David H","id":"3AE48E0A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"David H","orcid":"0000-0001-7577-1676","last_name":"Vandael"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-0005-401X","last_name":"Borges Merjane","first_name":"Carolina","id":"4305C450-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Borges Merjane, Carolina"},{"first_name":"Xiaomin","last_name":"Zhang","id":"423EC9C2-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Zhang, Xiaomin"},{"first_name":"Peter M","last_name":"Jonas","orcid":"0000-0001-5001-4804","id":"353C1B58-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Jonas, Peter M"}],"file":[{"relation":"main_file","checksum":"4030b2be0c9625d54694a1e9fb00305e","date_updated":"2020-11-25T11:23:02Z","creator":"dernst","date_created":"2020-11-25T11:23:02Z","access_level":"open_access","file_size":4390833,"content_type":"application/pdf","file_name":"2020_Neuron_Vandael.pdf","success":1,"file_id":"8811"}],"page":"509-521","month":"08","acknowledgement":"This project received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program (grant agreement 692692 to P.J.) and the Fond zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung ( Z 312-B27 , Wittgenstein award to P.J. and V 739-B27 to C.B.-M.).

A good design that balances form and function often requires considerable human effort and collaboration among experts from different professional fields. Computational design tools provide a new paradigm for designing functional objects. In computational design, form and function are represented as mathematical\r\nquantities, with the help of numerical and combinatorial algorithms, they can assist even novice users in designing versatile models that exhibit their desired functionality. This thesis presents three disparate research studies on the computational design of functional objects: The appearance of 3d print—we optimize the volumetric material distribution for faithfully replicating colored surface texture in 3d printing; the dynamic motion of mechanical structures—\r\nour design system helps the novice user to retarget various mechanical templates with different functionality to complex 3d shapes; and a more abstract functionality, multistability—our algorithm automatically generates models that exhibit multiple stable target poses. For each of these cases, our computational design tools not only ensure the functionality of the results but also permit the user aesthetic freedom over the form. Moreover, fabrication constraints\r\nwere taken into account, which allow for the immediate creation of physical realization via 3D printing or laser cutting.","lang":"eng"}],"ddc":["003"],"acknowledgement":"The research in this thesis has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 642841 (DISTRO) and the European Research Council grant agreement No 715767 (MATERIALIZABLE).

The level of cortical tension outside of the cell-cell contact, when pulling at the contact edge, scales with the total size to which a cell-cell contact can grow1,2. Here we show in zebrafish primary germ layer progenitor cells that this monotonic relationship only applies to a narrow range of cortical tension increase, and that above a critical threshold, contact size inversely scales with cortical tension. This switch from cortical tension increasing to decreasing progenitor cell-cell contact size is caused by cortical tension promoting E-cadherin anchoring to the actomyosin cytoskeleton, thereby increasing clustering and stability of E-cadherin at the contact. Once tension-mediated E-cadherin stabilization at the contact exceeds a critical threshold level, the rate by which the contact expands in response to pulling forces from the cortex sharply drops, leading to smaller contacts at physiologically relevant timescales of contact formation. Thus, the activity of cortical tension in expanding cell-cell contact size is limited by tension stabilizing E-cadherin-actin complexes at the contact."}],"_id":"9750","citation":{"ista":"Slovakova J, Sikora MK, Caballero Mancebo S, Krens G, Kaufmann W, Huljev K, Heisenberg C-PJ. 2020.

While the molecular signaling cascades are increasingly well\r\ndescribed, the mechanical signals affecting tissue shape changes have only recently been\r\nstudied in greater detail. To gain more insight into the mechanochemical and biophysical\r\nbasis of an epithelial spreading process (epiboly) in early zebrafish development, we studied\r\ncell-cell junction formation and actomyosin network dynamics at the boundary between\r\nsurface layer epithelial cells (EVL) and the yolk syncytial layer (YSL). During zebrafish epiboly,\r\nthe cell mass sitting on top of the yolk cell spreads to engulf the yolk cell by the end of\r\ngastrulation. It has been previously shown that an actomyosin ring residing within the YSL\r\npulls on the EVL tissue through a cable-constriction and a flow-friction motor, thereby\r\ndragging the tissue vegetal wards. Pulling forces are likely transmitted from the YSL\r\nactomyosin ring to EVL cells; however, the nature and formation of the junctional structure\r\nmediating this process has not been well described so far. Therefore, our main aim was to\r\ndetermine the nature, dynamics and potential function of the EVL-YSL junction during this\r\nepithelial tissue spreading. Specifically, we show that the EVL-YSL junction is a\r\nmechanosensitive structure, predominantly made of tight junction (TJ) proteins. The process\r\nof TJ mechanosensation depends on the retrograde flow of non-junctional, phase-separated\r\nZonula Occludens-1 (ZO-1) protein clusters towards the EVL-YSL boundary. Interestingly, we\r\ncould demonstrate that ZO-1 is present in a non-junctional pool on the surface of the yolk\r\ncell, and ZO-1 undergoes a phase separation process that likely renders the protein\r\nresponsive to flows. These flows are directed towards the junction and mediate proper\r\ntension-dependent recruitment of ZO-1. Upon reaching the EVL-YSL junction ZO-1 gets\r\nincorporated into the junctional pool mediated through its direct actin-binding domain.\r\nWhen the non-junctional pool and/or ZO-1 direct actin binding is absent, TJs fail in their\r\nproper mechanosensitive responses resulting in slower tissue spreading. We could further\r\ndemonstrate that depletion of ZO proteins within the YSL results in diminished actomyosin\r\nring formation. This suggests that a mechanochemical feedback loop is at work during\r\nzebrafish epiboly: ZO proteins help in proper actomyosin ring formation and actomyosin\r\ncontractility and flows positively influence ZO-1 junctional recruitment. Finally, such a\r\nmesoscale polarization process mediated through the flow of phase-separated protein\r\nclusters might have implications for other processes such as immunological synapse\r\nformation, C. elegans zygote polarization and wound healing.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","corr_author":"1"}]
