| 2025/12/11 - 2025/12/12 | Participation in the workshop Quantum Technologies for Space and Defence, organized
by the Quantum Communications Group of Instituto de Telecomunicações within the NATO
Science for Peace and Security project QSCAN – Quantum-Enabled Secure Multiparty Computation
for Space Surveillance Tracking. The workshop focused on the application of quantum
technologies to space systems, secure communications, and space surveillance tracking,
bringing together researchers and experts from NATO research groups.

Quantum Technologies for Space and Defence Workshop
Instituto de Telecomunicações, Portugal
|
| 2025/10/24 - 2025/10/24 | Poster presentation titled “Testing Non-Local Realism for Secure Communication” presenting
experimental investigations of Bell and Leggett inequality tests using polarization-entangled
photon pairs over a 40 km optical fiber link. The work demonstrates violation of the
CHSH Bell inequality and explores limitations in testing Leggett-type non-local realistic
models due to visibility constraints in the diagonal polarization basis.
Workshop

Workshop Nacional de Tecnologias Quânticas
Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal
|
| 2023/05/08 - 2023/06/15 | Participated in the fourth iteration of this conference, which has become one of the
largest gatherings of experts in the fields of quantum information and quantum technology.
The event provided an excellent opportunity for researchers, scholars, and students
to exchange ideas, present their research findings, and learn from esteemed speakers
worldwide.
Conference

International Conference on Quantum Information and Quantum Technology 2023
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata, India
|
| 2022/09/01 - 2023/04/30 | Successfully completed a two-semester course titled Introduction to Quantum Computing.
The first semester focused on quantum foundations, including fundamental concepts
of quantum mechanics, mathematical tools for quantum computing, quantum programming,
and basic quantum algorithms. The second semester emphasized practical applications,
involving the implementation of quantum algorithms, exploration of quantum hardware
platforms, and the development of the E91 quantum key distribution protocol as a final
project.
