Optogenetics

Features
Read full description

Optogenetics is a tool which aids an investigator in calculating the required optical power for a given in-vivo experiment involving optogenetics or any other experimental approach that includes light delivery to deep brain areas via optical fibers. Different brain areas have different optical properties, which determine how light scatters and distributes, once it exits the optical fiber. To estimate the amount of light required for a given experimental design, knowledge about the specific scattering properties of the brain region of choice, the specific opsin to be used, and the properties of the optical fiber are required. Once a user inputs these parameters into the APP, it calculates the maximal depth at which excitation of the opsin can be expected. The penetration depth is plotted as a function of optical power (mW), such that a user can see how light scatters in the brain tissue under the specific circumstances. For the scientific basis of this calculator, please see Al-Juboori, Dondzillo, Stubblefield, Felsen, Lei, and Klug: Light scattering properties vary across different regions of the adult mouse brain, PlosONE, e67626(8) 2013. For additional information, please see www.optogeneticsapp.com. The pro and regular versions of the app are identical.

About

QuantumPass

Read full description

QuantumPass brings two worlds together: a password and key generator, and a small lab to discover quantum randomness. GENERATE • Passwords from 8 to 64 characters: lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols, ambiguous-character exclusion, forbidden characters and required characters. The estimated entropy is shown with each result. • Diceware passphrases of 3 to 10 words, in French or English depending on the app language, with the separator of your choice. Strengthen a phrase with randomly drawn capitals, substitutions and suffix. • QRNG: 1 to 100 random bits, in binary, decimal, hexadecimal or Base64. • Blockchain RNG: 128 to 512-bit values in Hex, Base64 or Base58, for your keys and seeds. • All these values come from Apple's cryptographic generator. UNDERSTAND • BB84 demo: follow the key exchange between Alice and Bob, and watch Eve the eavesdropper given away by the error rate. • Qubit Lab: measure a simulated qubit in the Z or X basis and watch the statistics build up. • Bloch sphere: set the Īø angle and compare theoretical probabilities with measured frequencies. • Reproducible mode: a seed to replay the same demonstration, in class or in a workshop. • PRNG vs TRNG: two animated panels to see the difference between simulated and hardware randomness. • Built-in tutorial and a 10-question quiz. PRACTICAL • Secure clipboard: whatever you copy stays on the device and is cleared after 60 seconds. • In French and English, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. • Tip Jar: support development right from the app. PRIVACY QuantumPass works offline. All calculations are performed on your device. No account, no ads, no data collected. QuantumPass is an educational tool: its "quantum generator" is a simulation, fed by the system's secure random source.
