Currently, NOvA is Fermilab’s leading long-baseline neutrino experiment. Cremonesi is now co-leading the international collaboration of scientists behind it.

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.

MicroBooNE, with its large neutrino detector at Fermilab, has wrapped up the data-collecting phase and will continue to conduct analysis under fresh leadership.

Olivia Seidel’s work draws on Fermilab’s deep expertise in microelectronics and cryogenic devices to support key goals of the Genesis Mission — a sweeping U.S. Department of Energy artificial intelligence initiative.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s innovative hybrid near detector will be a game changer. An active prototyping program over the last few years has been refining and validating the design of this smaller detector’s key element, a liquid-argon time projection chamber, and the data analysis tools and methods that go with it.

Researchers with Department of Energy national laboratories are working together alongside industry collaborators to support Genesis Mission goals by using the power of artificial intelligence to significantly reduce design times of custom computer chips for use in extreme temperature, high-radiation and ultra-fast environments.

Anna Grassellino of Fermilab will serve on SCAC and chair the quantum subcommittee, tasked with advancing national quantum goals.

Fermilab sent its final contribution for the high-energy upgrade of the superconducting accelerator for SLAC’s X-ray laser, LCLS. The technology they developed will be transferred to industry for semiconductor-chip production and will be used in the Proton Improvement Plan-II, one of Fermilab’s flagship projects.

After joining Fermilab in 2020, Jacopo Bernardini was recently appointed level-3 manager for the 650-MHz cryomodules for the Proton Improvement Plan-II project. PIP-II is building a new, powerful linear accelerator that will create the world’s most intense beam of neutrinos for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. An amateur triathlete outside of work, Bernardini enjoys working with collaborators around the world as well as watching a design become reality.

With a sharp focus on Fermilab’s core scientific mission, Norbert Holtkamp is establishing clear priorities and a disciplined strategy that align the laboratory with the nation’s most ambitious research goals. His leadership is positioning Fermilab for long‑term success.
