Fermilab physicist wins DOE Early Career Award to study dark matter with entangled qubits

Building on her earlier work with quantum amplifiers for a leading dark matter experiment, Rakshya Khatiwada will use a four-qubit entangled system to test whether it offers a sensing advantage when exposed to a simulated dark matter signal. The project, based at Fermilab, could open the door to detecting dark matter candidates such as axions and dark photons.

QICK

Fermilab and Microsoft partner to provide new quantum tools and expand quantum research

Fermilab is among the initial partners in Microsoft Quantum’s newly established quantum research center. Opening in the Discovery District, Maryland, the center will feature a quantum hardware makerspace, where researchers can develop new approaches to hands-on quantum training. As part of this effort, Fermilab will expand the capabilities of its Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, an open-source quantum control and readout system, providing flexible new tools to the quantum community.

Superconducting radio-frequency cavities are being assembled and tested for installation at the Proton Improvement Plan-II, part of the Fermilab Accelerator Complex. By fine tuning the cavities’ resonance, scientists can optimize accelerator performance. Credit: Ryan Postel, Fermilab

DOE selects Fermilab-led AI initiative to advance particle accelerator performance

In a project selected for funding by the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and partners from other national laboratories, universities and industry will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable precise and adaptive resonance control in particle accelerators. Their work aims to lower operating costs by millions of dollars each year and improve accelerator performance, driving scientific discovery.
