Superconductor experts at Fermilab lead efforts to build revolutionary quantum computers
From Medill Science News, March 1, 2021: Fermilab and 19 scientific, academic and industrial partners are posed to make revolutionary breakthroughs in quantum science far beyond what is currently possible.
The proton and the antimatter inside it
From Reccom Magazine, Feb. 26, 2021: Chuck Brown of the Fermilab SeaQuest research team is quoted in this piece on the sea of quarks inside the proton. The article discusses Fermilab’s contributions to the SeaQuest and NuSea experiments.
Paul Alivisatos named next president of the University of Chicago
From UChicago News, Feb. 26, 2021: The University of Chicago’s Board of Trustees has named Paul Alivisatos as the university’s 14th president. An accomplished leader in higher education and a world-renowned scientist, Alivisatos is currently executive vice chancellor and provost at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a professor and the former director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
La NASA consiguió la teletransportación cuántica a larga distancia
From Diario Libre, Feb. 24, 2021: Fermilab and partners achieve quantum teleportation over 22 kilometers. Further development of quantum teleportation would allow the development of a high-fidelity and high-speed quantum internet.
Supercomputer successfully simulates universe just after Big Bang
From Forbes, Feb. 25, 2021: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln writes about a supercomputer at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan that explores the history of the universe by simulating over 4,000 universes.
A look into the mysteries of proton structure and the dynamics of antiquarks and gluons
From Los Alamos Laboratory News, Feb. 24, 2021: The E-906/SeaQuest experiment, hosted by Fermilab, has produced results that are the opposite of what had previously been understood about proton structure and the dynamics of strong interacting antiquarks and gluons.

Atomic clocks are reinventing time
From Bloomberg Quicktake, Feb. 23. 2021: In this video, Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln adds his perspective on time dilation and how it affects time and gravity. This precise measurement of time will allow scientists to measure plates, large movements deep below earth’s surface and climate change.
Protons’ antimatter is even more lopsided than we thought
Protons are built from three quarks — two “up” quarks and one “down” quark. But they also contain a roiling sea of transient quarks and antiquarks that fluctuate into existence before swiftly annihilating one another. At the Fermilab-hosted SeaQuest experiment, researchers report that that lopsidedness persists in a realm of previously unexplored quark momenta.
