Quantum Trajectories: International Centre for Theoretical Sciences
(4 Feb 2025, Bangalore, India)

This event was mainly for “Quantum Trajectories” research, bringing researchers of the field together to discuss its progress and possible (interesting) research directions. It was my pleasure to be part of the program and presented the newly published work.
The talk was also recorded and listed on YouTube: Link.

Siam Quantum Science and Technology (SQST 2024)

This is definitely my proudest achievement, after working as a faculty in Thailand for a few years. Thailand is a developing country, not to mention the research community in quantum science and technology. However, in the past few years, the research community has grown so much, to almost a hundred of researchers, faculties, and students. So, we realized that this would be the perfect time for us to showcase our research we have done in Thailand. — Myself and our organizing teams from Prince of Songkla University have worked really hard to make this event at the level of “international academic conference” for quantum science. With more than a hundred people joining from all around the world, we have made this event a true success!

NSTDA Podcast: Taklee Genesis (Movie)

Once in a life time, here, quite unexpectedly, I got a chance to be an interviewer for a science podcast on Youtube channel. I was assigned to interview the Director of the movie called “Taklee Genesis” and a MIT Media Lab technologist about how their movies included “quantum physics” and  their views on the scientific parts. It was quite entertaining. If you are interested, here is the YouTube Link

Strategizing Quantum Science & Technology in the ASEAN Context,
April 25-26, 2024

I was part of the organizer from Suranaree University of Technology to facilitate the first meeting that brought together scientists and researchers in quantum science and technology in Southeast Asia region. It was our first time to connect with researchers from Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, and Singapore. The event has sparked many other activities among the region in 2025.

Feedback in Quantum Machines 2023, OIST, Okinawa, Japan

The end of this year 2023, I will be joining the FQM2023, Nov 27th to Dec 1st 2023, in Okinawa, Japan as an invited speaker. I am really honored to be part of the conference, along with so many top researchers around the world! https://groups.oist.jp/fqm23
There will be one postdoc and two students from Mahidol University and Griffith University joining me at the conference talking about three different projects on how quantum feedback is now a topic of research interest.

New Directions in Quantum Metrology at Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB)

Glad to be joining the 5-week long program on “New Directions in Quantum Metrology” organized by Andrew N. Jordan, Klaus Mølmer and Marianna Safronova. So far it has been an amazing scientific experience, working, chatting, and also “living” with other 20-30 physicists in many areas related to quantum metrology. I love the fact that we can have opportunities to talk physics for almost all day all night, with blackboards everywhere around the building, even at the Charlie Munger residence place.

I have also given a pedagogical talk on “Measurement, Estimation, and Control, all continuous in time” (link here). Other talks during the program are also available here: https://online.kitp.ucsb.edu/online/qmetro23/

KMUTT-IF Winter School: Feynman path integration – A Long Road from Quantum Mechanics to String Theory

One of the few (and fun) times I got to speak about how to use a stochastic path integral for continuous quantum measurement. Here is the event organized by KMUTT in Thailand, a winter school, with enthusiastic high-school-to-graduate students. It was a fun lecture, telling the students how the path integral can be useful even when quantum measurements occur.

There is also a recorded video here (in Thai language): https://youtu.be/G9D7NF4yFwI?t=6388 (my lecture part starts from 1:46:30 til the end).

The 10th International Workshop on Solid-State Quantum Computing

Another invited talk at City University of Hong Kong. I was presenting the theory work on the qubit probe for random telegraph process noise. There were lots of interesting talks at this conference and it was free (virtual conference). It was also nice to meet other physics friends at least online.

Quantum Information and Measurement VI Topical Meeting (QIM), USA
1st – 5th November 2021

I was honoured to be invited as a speaker at the QIM conference! I gave a 25-min recorded talk on the Unifying theory, which was recently published in Physics Reports. The conference had to be 100% online, so it was a bit hard to meet new people and discuss science. But at least I got to say hi to Nathan Wiebe (another invited speaker in the same session) and some other grad students during the virtual coffee break.

Quantum Technology Research Initiative (QTRI-2021)

16th – 17th September 2021

It is my first time organizing an international (online) conference. We have invited speakers from all over the world to give talks about how quantum technology is interesting and important. It was quite a success, with more than 200 people registered and up to 130 joining the live Zoom meeting.

The event is recorded and the links to all the records will be updated in the QTRI’s website.

21st International Union of Materials Research Societies- International Conference in Asia (IUMRS-ICA 2020)
25th February 2021

Here is an invited talk at IUMRS-ICA conference (online) in Thailand. The conference is mainly related to material science, but I managed to fit in with this theoretical work on the quantum state tomography.

IBM-Qiskit: Quantum Information Science Seminar Series
13th November 2020

Thanks to the invitation from Zlatko C. Minev. I got an opportunity to give a talk at the Qiskit online seminar. This is the first time I talked about Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) for quantum trajectories and MOAAAR technique developed for noise cancelling with spectator systems. The talk is uploaded on Youtube here https://youtu.be/WdstxmajWQw

EQuaLS2020 Expository Quantum Lecture Series

Organized by Institute for Mathematical Research (INSPEM), Universiti Putra Malaysia, International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and Physics Department, Faculty of Science, UPM, I got to teach some basic of quantum measurement and decoherence to undergraduate/graduate students in Malaysia who were interested in learning more of the field. It was a nice experience getting to know younger generations in Malaysia with enthusiastic minds for research!

CQIQC, University of Toronto

Seminar and research “visit” at CQIQC, University of Toronto. Thanks to Prof. Aephraim Steinberg for the invitation. I also got to chat with students/postdocs during the “research visit” session. Quite an interesting scheme to motivate research ideas during the pandemic!

Weekly Quantum World Detangled (WQWD)

I was on an interview for the Weekly Quantum World Detangled (WQWD) organized by Denise Ruffner (Cambridge Quantum Computing), Andre Konig (Estrapadus) and Tommaso Federico Demarie (Entropica Labs). Thanks Tommaso for inviting me!

During the interview, I got digressed and missed answering one question. —- Our (Thai) National Flagship for Quantum Technology is a result of a huge collaboration effort from many well-known research groups in Thailand, from at least five universities all around the country. —- QTFT is just a part of the collaboration.

QTFT-RISE Quantum Technology workshop

On September 25th, 2019, RISE (www.riseaccel.com), in partnership with Quantum Technology Foundation of Thailand (QTFT), will host a one-of-a-kind quantum technologies summit in Bangkok, Thailand. (Possibly the biggest summit on Quantum Technologies in South East Asia)

World quantum experts from Google, Huawei, Baidu, Tencent, CQT, RQC, NTT, and more, will be presenting their state-of-the-art quantum technologies here in Bangkok, while discussing potentially disruptive impacts of this emerging technology.

I will be joining the speakers to introduce Quantum computing to the audience in Thailand via this webinar. (Jan 26th 2019) We will try to make the topic simple enough to understand.
