This was followed by another brilliant PhD defense by Klára Baksová, who (unfortunately for me) will soon be leaving the group to start a postdoc in Prague, I am sure she will succeed there! (6/8)

Then I had the pleasure to attend the 2026 Seefeld Quantum Information Workshop, where my student Ida Mishra enthusiastically presented a poster on her upcoming paper on high-dimensional entanglement and APART-MINT Fellow Simon Morelli advertised his work on sequential parameter estimation. (5/8)

On 17 June, my (by now I should say former) student Nicky Kai Hong Li defended his PhD with flying colours, and I am very happy that he will be staying on for a postdoc with a Croucher Fellowship! (4/8)

I am receiving invitations to predatory/fake conferences every day, but this one feels like a personal burn 😅🔥

Specifically, three ions are stimulated to each produce a photon (a), with which they are pairwise entangled (b). Then suitable quantum gates and measurements are applied to the ions (c) to remotely prepare GME states of the distributed photons (d). 6/8

Genuine multipartite entanglement—GME for short—is a type of entanglement that—much like a certain Lovecraftian cosmic entity that took a break from napping at the House of R'lyeh to make a guest appearance in our paper arxiv.org/abs/2504.21076 —is even weirder than regular entanglement: GME … (1/6)
