2026

• July: Gave a talk in Aalborg, Denmark for qCCL 2026. On exactly the same day ten years earlier I was also in Denmark for a workshop. Also prepared my slides using Quarto for the first time.
• May: A short vacation in Tokyo.
• March: Gave a talk and chaired a session in Hong Kong for APSHK 2026.
• February: Went back to Harbin, China for Chinese New Year with family.
• January:
  • Traveled to Riga, Latvia for QIP 2026. My first QIP. It was a lot of fun.
  • I DJed a NYE party at CaveCave in Shenzhen.

2025

• October: I DJed a Halloween party on Halloween night at a secret venue.
• September:
  • Went to Hefei for ICEQT, travelled to Suzhou in the middle to give another talk then went back to Hefei again. I do not recommend this type of arrangement.
  • Turned a vague research idea into a QIP submission in only one month. An intense month but it actually became real.
• August:
  • AQIS 2025 in Hong Kong. My first quantum information / highly theoretical conference. I think I like it better than regular physics conferences.
  • In Guilin for 全国量子物理青年学者研讨会 (National Symposium on Quantum Physics for Young Scholars). Passed through Yangshuo by train and it looked so beautiful. Pity I didn’t have time to explore it.
• July: In Chengdu for CQCC 2025. Flight attendants gave me a birthday card. Chengdu is awesome as always.
