UChicago-affiliated laboratories each receive $125 million to advance next-generation quantum science and technology. Argonne and Fermilab are affiliated with the University of Chicago and share many University faculty and scientists.

An interview with Fermilab’s Gustavo Cancelo on the DOE launch of a partnership between Fermilab and Qblox to manufacture and distribute the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit.

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.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab to observe research, including the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility-Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF-DUNE) project which utilises neutrinos to investigate fundamental physics.

Recently, the bipartisan supported DOE Quantum Leadership Act was introduced aimed at investing over $2.5 billion in quantum research and development. The bill’s introduction is critical for scaling and commercializing quantum computing.

DOE announced $71 million in funding for 25 projects in high energy physics that will use the emerging technologies of quantum information science to answer fundamental questions about the universe. This research will develop and deploy innovative solutions for scientific discovery by applying the unique capabilities and features of the quantum world to the challenges of making new discoveries in fundamental physics.

Senator John Thune of South Dakota has worked for decades to help convert an abandoned gold mine in South Dakota into the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science recently awarded the contract to manage and operate Fermilab to a consortium named Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC. It includes Amentum, a market leader in energy and environmental engineering solutions. Amentum has extensive experience in managing complex scientific facilities.
