The SQMS Centre has achieved a significant advance in quantum search algorithms using qudit-based Grover search. This Grover search offers a solution to the limitations of traditional qubit systems, particularly as quantum computers scale beyond simple designs.

Scientists have been testing the limits of the DUNE detectors after they subjected the prototype detector to an extreme 300,000-volt stress trial, before it is installed deep underground in the US.

Northwestern University, University of Chicago and Fermilab scientists have developed a new AI tool that automatically determines where a telescope should point.

The Department of Energy has been supporting basic research in 1985 has set the foundation for today’s quantum technology.

For 25 years, physicists have been puzzled by the way muons wobble in a magnetic field. Recent collider experiments showing discrepancies to other experiments could be a hint of unknown particles.

NPR interviewed the head of the Fermilab education and public engagement division, Natalie Johnson, about Fermilab’s quantum programs for young students and the growth of quantum research in Illinois.

Each year for Neutrino Day, SDPB hosts a special live broadcast a mile underground. This year, SDPB spoke with Mike Headley, SURF laboratory director, Dr. Sowjanya Gollapinni, senior scientist for Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and others about DUNE and Neutrino Day events in Lead, SD.

SURF and partner organizations hosted the 18th annual Neutrino Day in Lead, SD on July 11. As a sponsor, Fermilab hosted an interactive livestream event from underground, an Ask a Scientist table and many lab staff were on hand to answer questions about DUNE.

The Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit known as QICK, is an RF control and readout system developed by engineers at Fermilab in collaboration with university research groups and industry partners, with the firmware, software, and hardware fully open source.

Italian native and Fermilab senior scientist, Anadi Canepa, is the current spokesperson for the CMS experiment at CERN. CMS is one of two large experiments at the LHC and has one of the largest scientific collaborations in the world.
