About the speaker: Tim Coopmans is a PhD student in the groups of David 
Elkouss and Stephanie Wehner (Delft University of Technology), working on the 
analysis of quantum network protocols. Before that, Tim wrote his master 
thesis in certification of quantum states under supervision of Jed Kaniewski 
(then at University of Copenhagen) and Christian Schaffner (University of 
Amsterdam). His work focuses mostly on long-distance entanglement generation 
using intermediate nodes known as quantum repeaters. In his spare time, Tim 
aspires to be a good amateur jazz pianist (with varying success).

Abstract: NetSquid is a generic discrete-event based platform for simulating 
quantum information networks and modular quantum computing systems developed 
by QuTech (TU Delft / TNO). Its use ranges from the physical layer hardware 
and the control plane all the way to the application level. NetSquid's main 
aim is accurate physical simulation, not the least capturing 
time-dependencies. In this talk, I will introduce NetSquid and discuss 
several use cases to showcase its power, including long-distance entanglement 
generation using nitrogen-vacancy centers and atomic-ensemble hardware. 
NetSquid is freely available for non-commerical use at https://netsquid.org/. 
The website also contains a 10-minute guide to get started and references to 
code snippets made by other users.
