On July 17, Fermilab signed the Energy Efficiency Scaling for 2 Decades pledge with DOE representatives.

Using superconducting radio frequency cavities, the project set stringent constraints on a theorized particle called the dark photon.

Royal Holloway University of London and the National Physical Laboratory bring expertise and research capabilities to the SQMS Center as new partnership institutions.

Stefano Miscetti will help lead the Mu2e experiment into its commissioning phase.

Lab leadership formed a new team of specialists to provide institutional support for its grassroots sustainability efforts.

SQMS Center researchers have identified a new contribution to a qubit’s performance by probing and simulating several-atom-thick layers called silicides.

To cool quantum computing components, researchers use machines called dilution refrigerators. Researchers and engineers from the SQMS Center are building Colossus, the largest, most powerful refrigerator at millikelvin temperatures ever made. The new machine will enable new physics and quantum computing experiments.

SQMS Center researchers have fabricated quantum devices to evaluate the effect of different materials on qubit performance, thanks to proximity to the Pritzker Nanofabrication Facility.

Koch has assumed the leadership role previously held by Jim Sauls, who will remain active at SQMS.

Scientists at the SQMS Center have directly probed silicon’s impact on the lifespan of superconducting qubits. The uniquely sensitive measurement helped researchers quantify how the material impacts qubit performance.
