New measurements point to silicon as a major contributor to performance limitations in superconducting quantum processors
Scientists at the SQMS Center have directly probed silicon’s impact on the lifespan of superconducting qubits. The uniquely sensitive measurement helped researchers quantify how the material impacts qubit performance.
Fermilab welcomes British Consul General and UKRI-STFC delegation
Consul General Alan Gogbashian of the British Consulate in Chicago and U.K. scientific leaders visited the lab on Aug. 24 to discuss ongoing and emerging collaborations as well as tour research facilities.
Preparing for a more powerful particle accelerator
An international collaboration is upgrading the CMS detector at CERN to handle the increased number of collisions that the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will produce.
Accelerator operators: pillars of particle physics
It takes years of on-the-job training to learn the ins and outs of particle accelerator operation.
Excavation of huge caverns for DUNE particle detector is underway
Excavation of the large caverns for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility is in full swing. Over a third of the whopping 800,000 tons that need to be extracted from a mile underground have been removed. When finished, the underground facility will cover an area about the size of eight soccer fields and provide space for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
First demonstration of a new particle beam technology at Fermilab
Scientists successfully used a new technique to cool a particle beam and make it denser. The new method may enable future experiments to create more particle collisions. Denser particle beams provide researchers a better chance of exploring rare physics phenomena that help us understand our universe.
Roger Snyder becomes permanent DOE site office manager at Fermilab
As the representative of Department of Energy Office of Science at Fermilab, Snyder will continue to support the lab’s mission and ensure work is accomplished safely and within DOE requirements. The Fermilab acting site office manager since February, Snyder has been permanently reassigned to lead the Fermi Site Office while also serving as acting site office manager for nearby Argonne Laboratory.
Why aren’t neutrinos adding up?
Physicists take on the mystery of the missing (and extra) neutrinos.
