President Trump issued an Executive Order on November 24 to launch the Genesis Mission, a historic national effort led by the US Department of Energy.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a partnership between Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Qblox, under which Qblox will coordinate manufacturing, distribution and support for the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK) to advance U.S. quantum research and workforce development.

The SQMS Center enters a new era focused on scaling quantum systems from discovery to deployment — driving innovation in computation, communication and sensing.

Scientists at Fermilab and Caltech have demonstrated the feasibility of their method of using squeezed light to dramatically increase the rate at which quantum networks can generate entangled particle pairs over long distances. This advance addresses a critical bottleneck in building large-scale quantum networks.

In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.

In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins.

The Short-Baseline Near Detector has logged the largest sample of neutrino interactions in liquid argon in the world. Newly elected, Andrzej Szelc will co-lead SBND during the next phase of the experiment.

Photographers from the United States and Europe received exclusive, behind-the-scenes tours of areas and experiments that are typically not accessible to the public. The three winning photos were selected by a panel of Fermilab judges from 63 submissions and will move on to the global competition.

Troy England is an engineer at Fermilab who designs microelectronics that can function in the ultracold spaces required by quantum systems. His work is helping scientists get better data to explore particle interactions and understand qubit behavior.
