From INFN, Aug. 26, 2020: Il Department of Energy degli Stati Uniti finanzia il Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, coordinato dal Fermilab di Chicago e guidato dall’italiana Anna Grassellino. L’INFN parteciperà al progetto con il suo know-how scientifico e tecnologico, e grazie al finanziamento realizzerà una facility per dispositivi quantistici
nei suoi Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso.
From Formiche, Aug. 28, 2020: Gli Stati Uniti vogliono guidare il progresso mondiale sulla scienza dell’informazione quantistica. Per farlo, hanno affidato al FermiLab di Chicago la creazione di un centro di ricerca a cui parteciperanno venti istituzioni. Sono tutte americane, tranne l’Infn, l’istituto italiano di fisica nucleare.
