The function of Drosophila larval class IV dendritic arborization sensory neurons in the larval-pupal transition is separable from their function in mechanical nociception responses. by Hannah E Brown, Trishna Desai, Allison J Murphy, Harshida Pancholi, Zachary W Schmidt, Hannah Swahn, Eric C Liebl

“…We find that expressing trio in the class IV dendritic arborization (da) sensory neurons rescues the larval-pupal transition, demonstrating the reliance of the larval-pupal transition on the integrity of these sensory neurons. As nociceptive responses also rely on the functionality of the class IV da neurons, we test mechanical nociceptive responses in our mutant and rescued larvae and find that mechanical nociception is separable from the ability to undergo the larval-pupal transition. …”

An efficient quantum algorithm for ab initio approximations of non-linear response functions by Tyler Kharazi, Torin F. Stetina, Liwen Ko, Guang Hao Low, K. Birgitta Whaley

“…When applied to the electronic structure Hamiltonian with double factorized representation, each significant spectral line can be approximated to a width of ±γ, and to a height of ±ϵ with $$O\left({N}^{6}{\eta }^{2}{\gamma }^{-1}{\epsilon }^{-1}\log (1/\epsilon )\right)$$ O N 6 η 2 γ − 1 ϵ − 1 log ( 1 / ϵ ) queries to the block encoding of the unperturbed electronic structure Hamiltonian for η electrons over N basis functions. These quantities can be used to compute the nth order response functions for non-linear spectroscopies under limited assumptions using $$\widetilde{O}\left({N}^{5n+1}{\eta }^{n+1}/{\gamma }^{n}\epsilon \right)$$ O ̃ N 5 n + 1 η n + 1 / γ n ϵ queries to the block encoding of the Hamiltonian.…”
