Yunlong Xiao holds a Ph.D. in Mathematical Physics from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (MiS) in Leipzig, Germany, where he conducted his research under the guidance of Prof. Jürgen Jost and Prof. Naihuan Jing, successfully completing his degree in February 2017. He also obtained a second Ph.D. in Pure Mathematics from South China University of Technology, working under the supervision of Prof. Naihuan Jing, and graduated in June 2017. Following his academic pursuits, he served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Quantum Science and Technology at the University of Calgary, Canada, working alongside Prof. Barry C. Sanders and Prof. Gilad Gour until August 2019. Continuing his research career, he worked as a Research Fellow at the Quantum Hub in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, under the mentorship of Prof. Mile Gu. Currently, Yunlong holds the position of Senior Scientist at the Quantum Innovation Centre (Q.InC), The Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), Singapore. His pursuits converge on quantum foundations, quantum causal inference, quantum resource theory, and quantum communication, and his contributions have found a home in journals such as Phys. Rev. Lett., Phys. Rev. Research, Phys. Rev. D, Light Sci. Appl., npj Quantum Information, Commun. Phys., Quantum Sci. Technol., New J. Phys. His influence extends beyond publications, as evidenced by his contributed talks at conferences including APS March Meeting, AQIS, QPL, and QIP.
