About
Carmen Escribano is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of quantum communications and defense networking, whose work is shaping the future of secure military infrastructure. Her primary research areas encompass Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), Software Defined Networking (SDN), and quantum-safe secure communications, with a specific focus on defense applications. Escribano's most notable contribution is her leadership in the DISCRETION project, which achieved the first field demonstration of a quantum-enabled SDN in the context of a military exercise in 2025. This groundbreaking work successfully integrated QKD with SDN solutions to provide quantum-safe secure communications, demonstrating how European defense systems can benefit from enhanced flexibility, security, and resilience. While her work is still emerging—her most-cited paper currently has 1 citation—the DISCRETION project represents a significant milestone in operational quantum networking. Escribano's research is particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical quantum security and practical battlefield applications, positioning her as a key figure in the development of next-generation, quantum-resistant defense communication networks.
