Towards the ‘Quantum Internet’: Silvia Zorzetti receives the Early Career Award

    Fermilab’s Silvia Zorzetti has been awarded the prestigious Early Career Award from the U.S. DOE for her pioneering research in developing technology that will lay the foundations of the quantum internet. The project’s goal is to improve quantum sensors and sensor networks, so as to allow a more efficient conversion of information and quantum signals between different physical platforms

    Department of Energy announces $24 million for research on quantum networks

      DOE announced $24 million in funding for three collaborative projects in quantum network research to realize distributed quantum computers. A project included in this funding is collaborative research led by Fermilab in partnership with the California Institute of Technology, the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign, the Northwestern University, and Argonne National Laboratory, to develop hyper-entanglement-based networking and error noise-robust correction techniques for developing advanced quantum networks for science discovery.

      The W boson’s midlife crisis

        Forty years after its discovery, the W boson continues to intrigue scientists. Chris Hays describes recent progress in understanding a surprisingly high measurement of its mass using data from the former CDF experiment at Fermilab.

        In preparation for DUNE, scientists examine modern nuclear theory for neutrino oscillation physics

          Current understandings of neutrino-nucleon interactions rely on data from experiments in the 1970s and ’80s. However, by using lattice quantum chromodynamics to predict stronger neutrino-nucleon interactions, scientists can determine oscillation properties of the elusive neutrinos in Fermilab’s DUNE experiment and other neutrino oscillation experiments.
