IBM plans to join Fermilab’s SQMS Center to further accelerate critical technologies and applications of superconducting quantum systems and expand quantum workforce development programs.
The Italian Marisa Bellisario Award was presented to Anna Grassellino, an Italian and American scientist with Fermilab who was recognized in the international category for her scientific work and leadership.
DOE Office of Science will support two new areas of growth for Fermilab: high school student apprenticeship to expand the technicians’ teams and lab engineers in the
development of innovative ideas.
Enabled by a U.S. Department of Energy program, a collaboration of scientists from Fermilab, UChicago, NOIRLab and other institutions demonstrated that skipper-CCD detectors can be utilized to improve cosmology research
The international collaboration presented their first results with new data in four years, featuring a new low-energy sample of electron neutrinos and a dataset doubled in size.
The new state-of-the-art QUIET laboratory will study the performance of qubits isolated from cosmic radiation. Its above ground counterpart is LOUD and together they will enable controlled experiments of quantum sensors.
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced Jim Kerby as project director for Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF/DUNE-US) He will be responsible for managing all aspects of the project in the U.S. as Fermilab leads the execution of the largest international DOE project ever hosted on U.S. soil.
Eighteen staff members at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory were recognized for their leadership and work to uphold and further the equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility principals at Fermilab. The recipients were honored with awards during a ceremony held at the lab’s iconic Wilson Hall in March.
A new underground research space at Fermilab allows scientists to study superconducting quantum qubits in an environment with significantly reduced interference caused by cosmic rays. The laboratory, called QUIET, has a twin at the Earth’s surface named LOUD. This arrangement allows for controlled direct comparisons of quantum sensor and computing experiments.
