Currently open to new opportunities.
I am looking for postdoctoral and assistant professorship positions. If you know of a good fit,
please get in touch or see my CV.
Hi, I'm Xinhe! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the
Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Vienna.
I received my Ph.D. degree from the School of Physics, Peking University. My main research
focuses on quantum foundations, quantum communication, and quantum computation. I am
currently working on the connection between quantum contextuality and Bell nonlocality, and
also exploring the path information in nonlinear interferometers.
Previously, I worked on a quantum optics experiment involving surface plasmon polaritons and
quantum state verification with efficient quantum resources. During my research work, I
acquired skills in building optical systems, constructing single-photon and entangled-photon
sources, single-photon detection, quantum state characterization, nanofabrication, FDTD
simulations, and quantum teleportation techniques.

On October 20, 2025, I successfully defended my dissertation thesis at Peking University.

Academic Research
My research bridges fundamental questions in quantum foundations with experimental quantum
optics and device-oriented photonics. I design and build optical systems, develop single-photon
and entangled-photon sources, and explore quantum state verification with efficient resources.
I work with simulation and modeling tools for materials and devices, including DFT (VASP) and
molecular dynamics (LAMMPS), alongside numerical workflows in Julia and Python.

Open Source & Tools
I enjoy building research tools that make analysis and visualization more transparent and
reproducible. I share code and notes on GitHub and occasionally write about methods, workflows,
and lab practices.
You can find my repositories on GitHub and follow
updates on the blog.
