From today till Friday, you can watch my talk on the SPIE online conference here cutt.ly/IfKEChS, where you can find an interesting discussion about free-space QKD, I will be answering questions on Slack. Did I say that is free? Check it out!

.@QCommHub colleague Alfonso Tello et al's work 'Prospects of time-bin quantum key distribution in turbulent free-space channels' is being presented SPIE #Security & #Defence forum this week! Registration: spie.org/ESD/conference… Single-Photon Group 🏳️‍🌈✨💥⚛️🔬🛰️ Catarina Novo @DrDondon

Also being presented SPIE #Security & #Defence Digital Forum is @Chunmei0607 et al's work 'Link loss analysis for a satellite #quantum #communication downlink' register to view the talk, don't miss out: spie.org/ESD/conference… Alfonso Tello @DrDonDon55 Single-Photon Group 🏳️‍🌈✨💥⚛️🔬🛰️

Ever wonder why free-space QKD is mainly done using polarization protocols? Are we losing part of the picture? Check the talk where I talk about this topic we work within our group: cutt.ly/IfKEChS. Registration is free. @DrDonDon55 Catarina Novo @Chunmei0607

The real reason I chose a PhD in Scotland

First batch of beer finished, the second one is coming. For those interested in knowing how to make beer home, don´t forget to check my blog: cutt.ly/SgonehS, now with a translation tool for those who don´t speak Spanish.

How to celebrate Halloween while self-isolating? Me: making a pumpkin beer. My gf: making a pumpkin cake.

Just found a great tutorial to understand the Cascade error correction protocol, widely used in QKD, something not that easy to see in the literature. hikingandcoding.wordpress.com/2020/01/15/a-c…

Come on Scotland! I thought we were cool

Very very happy that I got my very first paper published today opg.optica.org/oe/fulltext.cf…. Starting from scratch with not much quantum background proved challenging, but the learning experience has been amazing. Many thanks to Elizabeth and @DrDonDon55 for all the work done.

Is all research in QKD already done? We don't think, so we are trying different technologies to boost the performance. Check out our last publication for some insights on how to use SPAD cameras for QKD. @DrDonDon55 doi.org/10.1364/OE.470…

Yo, yo, my PhD journey has come to an end. After 3 years of research, I passed my VIVA yesterday, and now I can finally have the letters "Dr" on my credit cards! Half the credit to my supervisor @DrDonDon55.
