Fermilab and Microsoft partner to provide new quantum tools and expand quantum research
Fermilab is among the initial partners in Microsoft Quantum’s newly established quantum research center. Opening in the Discovery District, Maryland, the center will feature a quantum hardware makerspace, where researchers can develop new approaches to hands-on quantum training. As part of this effort, Fermilab will expand the capabilities of its Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, an open-source quantum control and readout system, providing flexible new tools to the quantum community.

Fermilab marks major milestone for world-leading DUNE experiment
An event at the far site of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota marked the start of steel beams being lowered underground to house DUNE’s massive particle detectors. The event was attended by senior leaders from the Department of Energy; members of Congress; Fermilab, CERN and SURF leadership; and members of the local community, all of whom had the chance to sign one of the steel beams being installed.
Muon g-2 experiment places new constraints on a forbidden property of muons
The experiment, designed to measure the magnetic moment of the muon, is also sensitive to a particle property called the electric dipole moment.
Fermilab and Harmoniqs integrate open-source tools to advance qubit control optimization
Fermilab developed the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, as a compact, customizable and cost-effective quantum readout and control option for scientists. Harmoniqs, a quantum computing software company, developed Piccolo.jl, a quantum control and calibration software package. Together, their developers are integrating the two to achieve precise, repeatable qubit control, providing better results in less time.
Fermilab marks 70 years of neutrino science and leads next-generation experiment
As Fermilab commemorates 70 years since the discovery of the neutrino at the Savannah River Site in the United States, the lab also celebrates its multiple generations of pioneering neutrino research. Today, Fermilab is building the next era of neutrino discovery through the development of the world-leading Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

SURF crews move 39% of steel for DUNE
Crews at the Sanford Underground Research Facility have moved about 39% of the I-beam steel needed to construct the cryotat for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. That represents nearly 2 million pounds of steel that completely fills the south cavern that is 500 feet long, 65 feet wide, and about 7 stories tall.
No manual tuning needed, Qualibrate calibrates qubits from cold start
Bosonic quantum error-correction devices at Fermilab’s SQMS Center use multiple quantum states within harmonic oscillators, a departure from traditional two-level qubit systems and a potential pathway to increased fault tolerance.
The 12 most ambitious international science projects
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment led by Fermilab is included in the line up of most ambitious international science projects that demonstrates how modern science transcends borders and inspires new technologies.
NVIDIA Expands Open Source CUDA-Q Platform for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
NVIDIA announced an expansion of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q open source platform with CUDA-Q Logical, a verifiable approach to developing useful applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers. Fermilab researchers used the platform accelerating fault-tolerant algorithm development from five months to three weeks, a 7x speedup.
