A technique from the newest generation of quantum sensors is helping scientists to use the limitations of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle to their advantage.

From the Rapid City Journal, January 20, 2022: A 2021 economic study done for SURF and the South Dakota Science and Technology Authority shows the large economic impacts in advancing South Dakota’s economy. The impacts include job creation, household earnings, and spending for activities and experiments at SURF and the LBNF/DUNE. The partnership with Fermilab to construct and operate part of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility at SURF will result in significant spending and employment in South Dakota in the coming decades.

Quantum computers could enable physicists to tackle questions even the most powerful computers cannot handle.

Scientists are exploring a variety of ways to make quantum bits. We may not need to settle on a single one.

From The Hamden Journal, January 16, 2022: With the Standard Model explaining the fundamental physics of how the universe works, experimental physicists are constantly probing for cracks in the model’s foundations. So far, it has remained the model of fundamental physics despite many experiments in 2021 that probed the Standard Model 2021 like Muon g-2.

Quantum information breaks the rules of classical information in a way that could allow us to answer questions that a classical computer cannot.

Quantum computers go beyond the binary.

Inventions like the transistor and laser changed the world. What changes will the second quantum revolution bring?

From Wonderful Engineering, January 10, 2022: A video trip of the 17-ton superconducting magnet ring designed to be the focal point of Fermilab’s Muon g-2 subatomic particle experiment that was moved from Brookhaven, New York to Batavia, Illinois.

Uncertainty, entanglement, spooky action: On the quantum scale, the universe doesn’t work the way you might expect.
