Citation-count-addiction is horrible, but it's one of the few points of feedback that young researchers get. I'm quite grateful for what 2025 brought, particularly more diverse feedback/verification from the community; things I didn't really expect would come my way:

🚩 Our recent work on noise-robustness in a triangle quantum network got covered by ICFO. :) 👇 Have a look below or check out the full article: arxiv.org/abs/2503.24213

A great read by Retraction Watch. ✅ Nice to see that some Article 1 authors, McCoy et al., actively tried to get help from Springer Nature to fix the incorrect citations to their paper. 😐 Seems like Scopus and Web of Science also have the distorted citations.

5️⃣/🔟 In Scientific Reports, 5 of the top 10 most cited articles have an article number of 1. 5️⃣/🔟 In Nature Communications the same: 5 of the top 10 are article 1s. Coincidence? 👇 scirate.com/arxiv/2511.0... I think not.

What a pleasure to teach in Gdansk at the Frontiers of Machine Learning in Quantum Technologies 2025 Summer School :) It's a first for me, but really enjoying. Amazing students. I was lucky enough to see their flash presentations as well. Thx and congrats to the organizers.

Man, CEQIP venue is just another level. Amazing to be here :)

not only tariffs are rising... but also number of photons ;) We found a simple setup for nonlocality in the triangle using 2-photon sources that is ~50% robust to photon loss, vs. the ~5% that we had for single photon sources.

Celebrating 2^5 laps around the sun by submitting a grant proposal 🎉 Great way to celebrate, honestly... can absolutely recommend

Gave a talk yesterday in the seminar room where I first learned about quantum mechanics. <3 Something warm and fuzzy about that. And with a lovely audience!! A big thank you for the opportunity, András Pályi! @andraspalyi.bsky.social
