@luiscortsdemara
I build quantum network simulators and performance tools for distributed communication systems.
What I'm looking for
I'm developing core software architectures for quantum network topology analysis at GIICC, UPM, including discrete-event simulation frameworks for quantum repeaters and technical lectures for specialized bootcamps.
For MADQCI and the National Hub, I've built performance-monitoring tools for the Madrid quantum network field trial to improve routing efficiency and resource allocation across distributed nodes. I've also developed high-fidelity Python simulators for entanglement generation, purification, and swapping under realistic noise models.
My work contributes to QSNP and European Commission initiatives through security frameworks, interoperability criteria, architectural validation, compliance documentation, and technical reporting. In collaboration with Thales, I evaluated PRNGs against quantum randomness in post-quantum scenarios, examining statistical distinguishability, entropy degradation, and seed-based vulnerabilities.
Alongside research, I've led a 55-person software project, managed Agile delivery in an eight-person team, built a generative-AI travel assistant, and programmed Unix shell, compiler, database, and algorithmic applications. I work across Python, Linux, distributed systems, simulation, and system-level optimization.
