In a pioneering study at an underground laboratory at Fermilab, scientists measured bursts of charge across multiple superconducting qubits. Their work advances understanding of how background noise impacts qubits while contributing to the development of more precise sensors to discover new physics phenomena and more fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Scientists are continuing a groundbreaking study of superconducting microwire single photon detectors, or SMSPDs. These ultrasensitive devices show great promise for particle physics research of the future.
Construction of a laser laboratory that will house state-of-the-art lasers necessary to run the experiment’s 100-meter atom interferometer is complete. This is an important step in building a quantum sensing device capable of seeing tiniest of signals emanating from the farthest reaches of the universe to discover new physics phenomena.
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.
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.
A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research.
In a multi-year project at Fermilab’s Illinois Accelerator Research Center, or IARC, engineers and scientists collaborated with Euclid Techlabs to test a new, slightly conductive ceramic for use in a critical accelerator component known as a radio frequency window.
Fermilab is finalizing a partnership with Diraq and several universities for the Quandarum project. The project team intends to combine extreme environment electronics and silicon spin qubits to develop a quantum sensor that could profoundly impact the field of high-energy physics.
A trio of Lederman fellows at Fermilab are developing ways to use quantum technology to probe the universe for dark matter and other physics phenomena. While doing so, they are sharing their enthusiasm for their work to inspire the next generation of scientists.
High-power electron beam accelerators could be the answer to the nation’s need for powerful and safe alternatives to radioactive power sources. Funding from the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Radiological Security aims to support a team of engineers, scientists and business specialists in forging a path to help industry adopt these mighty accelerators.
