Abstract
Linear bosonic modes offer a hardware-efficient alternative for quantum information processing but require access to some nonlinearity for universal control. The lack of nonlinearity in photonics has led to encoded measurement-based quantum computing, which relies on linear operations but requires access to resourceful ('nonlinear') quantum states, such as cubic phase states. In contrast, superconducting microwave circuits offer engineerable nonlinearities but suffer from static Kerr nonlinearity. Here, we demonstrate universal control of a bosonic mode composed of a superconducting nonlinear asymmetric inductive element (SNAIL) resonator, enabled by native nonlinearities in the SNAIL element. We suppress static nonlinearities by operating the SNAIL in the vicinity of its Kerr-free point and dynamically activate nonlinearities up to third order by fast flux pulses. We experimentally realize a universal set of generalized squeezing operations, as well as the cubic phase gate, and exploit them to deterministically prepare a cubic phase state in 60 ns. Our results initiate the experimental field of polynomial quantum computing, in the continuous-variables notion originally introduced by Lloyd and Braunstein.

Abstract
We estimated chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration using various combinations of routine sampling, automatic station measurements, and MERIS satellite images. Our study site was the northern part of the large, shallow, mesotrophic Lake Pyhäjärvi located in southwestern Finland. Various combinations of measurements were interpolated spatiotemporally using a data fusion system (DFS) based on an ensemble Kalman filter and smoother algorithms. The estimated concentrations together with corresponding 68% confidence intervals are presented as time series at routine sampling and automated stations, as maps and as mean values over the EU Water Framework Directive monitoring period, to evaluate the efficiency of various monitoring methods. The mean Chl-a calculated with DFS in June-September was 6.5-7.5 µg/l, depending on the observations used as input. At the routine monitoring station where grab samples were used, the average uncertainty (standard deviation, SD) decreased from 2.7 to 1.6 µg/l when EO data were also included in the estimation. At the automatic station, located 0.9 km from the routine monitoring site, the SD was 0.7 µg/l. The SD of spatial mean concentration decreased from 6.7 to 2.9 µg/l when satellite observations were included in June-September, in addition to in situ monitoring data. This demonstrates the high value of the information derived from satellite observations. The conclusion is that the confidence of Chl-a monitoring could be increased by deploying spatially extensive measurements in the form of satellite imaging or transects conducted with flow-through sensors installed on a boat and spatiotemporal interpolation of the multisource data.

Abstract
The studies of mechanical resonators in the quantum regime not only provide insight into the fundamental nature of quantum mechanics of massive objects, but also introduce promising platforms for novel hybrid quantum technologies. Here we demonstrate a configurable interaction between a superconducting qubit and many acoustic modes in the quantum regime. Specifically, we show how consecutive Landau-Zener-Stückelberg (LZS) tunneling type of transitions, which take place when a system is tuned through an avoided crossing of the coupled energy levels, interfere in a multimode system. The work progresses experimental LZS interference to cover a new class of systems where the coupled levels are those of a quantum two-level system interacting with a multitude of mechanical oscillators. The work opens up applications in controlling multiple acoustic modes via parametric modulation.

Abstract
Alternative reproductive tactics often take the form of dichotomous behavioural phenotypes. Focusing attention on such obvious dichotomy means that flexible patterns of behaviour within tactics is largely ignored. Using a long-term dataset of black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix) lek behaviours, we tested whether there were fine-scale differences in reproductive effort (lek attendance, fighting rates) and whether these were related to age and phenotype. Yearling males increased their lek attendance and fighting rate to a peak when adult male effort was declining. Adults and yearlings allocated reproductive effort according to their body mass but this was unrelated to differences in timing of effort. In adult males, different patterns of lek attendance were associated with different costs of reproduction, measured by mass loss or gain. Overall, our work demonstrates that individuals can use flexible patterns of reproductive effort both in terms of their own condition, their age and the likely costs of behaviours.

Abstract
Steady-state kinetics of the H(+)-translocating NADH:ubiquinone reductase (complex I) were analyzed in membrane samples from bovine mitochondria and the soil bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans. In both enzymes the calculated K(m) values, in the membrane lipid phase, for four different ubiquinone analogues were in the millimolar range. Both the structure and size of the hydrophobic side chain of the acceptor affected its affinity for complex I. The ND1 subunit of bovine complex I is a mitochondrially encoded protein that binds the inhibitor dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) covalently [Yagi and Hatefi (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 16150-16155]. The NQO8 subunit of P. denitrificans complex I is a homologue of ND1, and within it three conserved Glu residues that could bind DCCD, E158, E212, and E247, were changed to either Asp or Gln and in the case of E212 also to Val. The DCCD sensitivity of the resulting mutants was, however, unaffected by the mutations. On the other hand, the ubiquinone reductase activity of the mutants was altered, and the mutations changed the interactions of complex I with short-chain ubiquinones. The implications of the results for the location of the ubiquinone reduction site in this enzyme are discussed.

Abstract
The hexammineruthenium (HAR) and ferricyanide reductase activities of Complex I (H+-translocating NADH:ubiquinone reductase) from Paracoccus denitrificans and bovine heart mitochondria were studied. The rates of HAR reduction are high, and its steady-state kinetics is similar in both P. denitrificans and bovine Complex I. The deamino-NADH:HAR reductase activity of Complex I from both sources is significantly higher than the respective activity in the presence of NADH. The HAR reductase activity of the bacterial and mitochondrial Complex I is similarly and strongly pH dependent. The pK(a) of this activity could not be determined, however, due to low stability of the enzymes at pH values above 8.0. In contrast to the high similarity between bovine and P. denitrificans Complex I as far as HAR reduction is concerned, the ferricyanide reductase activity of the bacterial enzyme is much lower than in mitochondria. Moreover, ferricyanide reduction in P. denitrificans, but not bovine mitochondria, is partially sensitive to dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (T. Yagi, Biochemistry 26 (1987) 2822-2828). On the other hand, the inhibition of ferricyanide reduction by high concentration of NADH, a typical phenomenon in bovine Complex I, is much weaker in the bacterial enzyme. The functional differences between the two enzymes might be linked to the properties of their binuclear Fe-S clusters.
