I am David Serreau.
I am building Edge Quantum 65, a research and development lab, in Lannemezan, in the Hautes-Pyrénées. I work alone. This site presents what I do and where I stand.
I am self-taught. One rule governs everything published here: nothing is asserted that has not been measured.
Chess shaped me.
I play correspondence chess. I am CCM — Correspondence Chess Master of the international federation (ICCF), a title obtained in 2025, and ICCF International Master, a title obtained on 15 October 2026 with a third norm (official confirmation within two weeks). I am the 29th French player, 4th French player and 122nd in the world at Chess960, a member of the French national team, a semi-finalist in the ICCF World Cup and the European Championship.
In correspondence chess, engines are allowed. Everyone has the same machines: what makes the difference is the person who directs them, compares their evaluations and decides. That is what I do at the lab, and that is what the module does on a machine: the machine computes, the human decides.
This game taught me two things: prepare instead of improvising, and never trust an evaluation you have not checked yourself. ICCF profile no. 181914 →
What I have built, and its real state.
The starting point is not a business project: it is a chess engine I wrote myself. To play at my level, you have to evaluate a position in a fraction of a second with a few kilobytes of memory — which is also what an industrial machine requires. The rest came from there.
| Achievement | Real state | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| Chess engine | Functional, frozen as a test bench | Personal work, written entirely |
| Embedded neural network | Compiled for microcontroller, validated in tests not yet flashed | Port and validation |
| Sensor acquisition software | Vibration, temperature, current — drivers written and tested | Acquisition and processing |
| Observation module | Software prototype: from simulated signal to decision not yet on a machine | Product in preparation |
| Technology portfolio | Documented, timestamped, source verification in progress | Licensable asset |
| Quantum algorithm simulator | Functional, with its test suite | Lab tool |
What remains, I say it too. The first test on a real machine. Industrialization of the module. Registration of the company. The lab is not finished; it is moving forward.
My method.
Proof before publication
Every published figure must be reproducible from the code or from the inventory. Otherwise, it stays internal.
Timestamping
Important milestones — bench results, decisions, reviews — are timestamped (a dated fingerprint receipt). The proof exists without any server holding the content.
One thing at a time
I work on a single subject per session, I do not touch code that works, I do not improvise any optimization.
Lannemezan, Hautes-Pyrénées.
I work in Lannemezan, in the Hautes-Pyrénées. I do everything myself, from the first to the last step: I write the software, I wire the test benches, I will assemble the module. The company is being created.
