text: Global tissue tension anisotropy has been shown to trigger stereotypical cell
division orientation by elongating mitotic cells along the main tension axis.
Yet, how tissue tension elongates mitotic cells despite those cells undergoing
mitotic rounding (MR) by globally upregulating cortical actomyosin tension remains
unclear. We addressed this question by taking advantage of ascidian embryos, consisting
of a small number of interphasic and mitotic blastomeres and displaying an invariant
division pattern. We found that blastomeres undergo MR by locally relaxing cortical
tension at their apex, thereby allowing extrinsic pulling forces from neighboring
interphasic blastomeres to polarize their shape and thus division orientation.
Consistently, interfering with extrinsic forces by reducing the contractility
of interphasic blastomeres or disrupting the establishment of asynchronous mitotic
domains leads to aberrant mitotic cell division orientations. Thus, apical relaxation
during MR constitutes a key mechanism by which tissue tension anisotropy controls
stereotypical cell division orientation.

text: Semiconductor nanowires have been playing a crucial role in the development
of nanoscale devices for the realization of spin qubits, Majorana fermions, single
photon emitters, nanoprocessors, etc. The monolithic growth of site‐controlled
nanowires is a prerequisite toward the next generation of devices that will require
addressability and scalability. Here, combining top‐down nanofabrication and bottom‐up
self‐assembly, the growth of Ge wires on prepatterned Si (001) substrates with
controllable position, distance, length, and structure is reported. This is achieved
by a novel growth process that uses a SiGe strain‐relaxation template and can
be potentially generalized to other material combinations. Transport measurements
show an electrically tunable spin–orbit coupling, with a spin–orbit length similar
to that of III–V materials. Also, charge sensing between quantum dots in closely
spaced wires is observed, which underlines their potential for the realization
of advanced quantum devices. The reported results open a path toward scalable
qubit devices using nanowires on silicon.

text: Mechanical systems facilitate the development of a hybrid quantum technology
comprising electrical, optical, atomic and acoustic degrees of freedom1, and entanglement
is essential to realize quantum-enabled devices. Continuous-variable entangled
fields—known as Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) states—are spatially separated two-mode
squeezed states that can be used for quantum teleportation and quantum communication2.
In the optical domain, EPR states are typically generated using nondegenerate
optical amplifiers3, and at microwave frequencies Josephson circuits can serve
as a nonlinear medium4,5,6. An outstanding goal is to deterministically generate
and distribute entangled states with a mechanical oscillator, which requires a
carefully arranged balance between excitation, cooling and dissipation in an ultralow
noise environment. Here we observe stationary emission of path-entangled microwave
radiation from a parametrically driven 30-micrometre-long silicon nanostring oscillator,
squeezing the joint field operators of two thermal modes by 3.40 decibels below
the vacuum level. The motion of this micromechanical system correlates up to 50
photons per second per hertz, giving rise to a quantum discord that is robust
with respect to microwave noise7. Such generalized quantum correlations of separable
states are important for quantum-enhanced detection8 and provide direct evidence
of the non-classical nature of the mechanical oscillator without directly measuring
its state9. This noninvasive measurement scheme allows to infer information about
otherwise inaccessible objects, with potential implications for sensing, open-system
dynamics and fundamental tests of quantum gravity. In the future, similar on-chip
devices could be used to entangle subsystems on very different energy scales,
such as microwave and optical photons.

text: We study double quantum dots in a Ge/SiGe heterostructure and test their maturity
towards singlet-triplet ($S-T_0$) qubits. We demonstrate a large range of tunability,
from two single quantum dots to a double quantum dot. We measure Pauli spin blockade
and study the anisotropy of the $g$-factor. We use an adjacent quantum dot for
sensing charge transitions in the double quantum dot at interest. In conclusion,
Ge/SiGe possesses all ingredients necessary for building a singlet-triplet qubit.

text: 'In the here presented thesis, we explore the role of branched actin networks
in cell migration and antigen presentation, the two most relevant processes in
dendritic cell biology. Branched actin networks construct lamellipodial protrusions
at the leading edge of migrating cells. These are typically seen as adhesive structures,
which mediate force transduction to the extracellular matrix that leads to forward
locomotion. We ablated Arp2/3 nucleation promoting factor WAVE in DCs and found
that the resulting cells lack lamellipodial protrusions. Instead, depending on
the maturation state, one or multiple filopodia were formed. By challenging these
cells in a variety of migration assays we found that lamellipodial protrusions
are dispensable for the locomotion of leukocytes and actually dampen the speed
of migration. However, lamellipodia are critically required to negotiate complex
environments that DCs experience while they travel to the next draining lymph
node. Taken together our results suggest that leukocyte lamellipodia have rather
a sensory- than a force transducing function. Furthermore, we show for the first
time structure and dynamics of dendritic cell F-actin at the immunological synapse
with naïve T cells. Dendritic cell F-actin appears as dynamic foci that are nucleated
by the Arp2/3 complex. WAVE ablated dendritic cells show increased membrane tension,
leading to an altered ultrastructure of the immunological synapse and severe T
cell priming defects. These results point towards a previously unappreciated role
of the cellular mechanics of dendritic cells in T cell activation. Additionally,
we present a novel cell culture based system for the differentiation of dendritic
cells from conditionally immortalized hematopoietic precursors. These precursor
cells are genetically tractable via the CRISPR/Cas9 system while they retain their
ability to differentiate into highly migratory dendritic cells and other immune
cells. This will foster the study of all aspects of dendritic cell biology and
beyond. '

text: The strong atomistic spin–orbit coupling of holes makes single-shot spin readout
measurements difficult because it reduces the spin lifetimes. By integrating the
charge sensor into a high bandwidth radio frequency reflectometry setup, we were
able to demonstrate single-shot readout of a germanium quantum dot hole spin and
measure the spin lifetime. Hole spin relaxation times of about 90 μs at 500 mT
are reported, with a total readout visibility of about 70%. By analyzing separately
the spin-to-charge conversion and charge readout fidelities, we have obtained
insight into the processes limiting the visibilities of hole spins. The analyses
suggest that high hole visibilities are feasible at realistic experimental conditions,
underlying the potential of hole spins for the realization of viable qubit devices.

text: Holes confined in quantum dots have gained considerable interest in the past
few years due to their potential as spin qubits. Here we demonstrate two-axis
control of a spin 3/2 qubit in natural Ge. The qubit is formed in a hut wire double
quantum dot device. The Pauli spin blockade principle allowed us to demonstrate
electric dipole spin resonance by applying a radio frequency electric field to
one of the electrodes defining the double quantum dot. Coherent hole spin oscillations
with Rabi frequencies reaching 140 MHz are demonstrated and dephasing times of
130 ns are measured. The reported results emphasize the potential of Ge as a platform
for fast and electrically tunable hole spin qubit devices.
