Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center

Troy England is an engineer at Fermilab who designs microelectronics that can function in the ultracold spaces required by quantum systems. His work is helping scientists get better data to explore particle interactions and understand qubit behavior.

Mackenzie Ring helps bring quantum research to life as a mechanical technician for the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Fermilab, assembling and maintaining the complex systems inside the SQMS dilution refrigerators. Mackenzie’s role combines hands-on work, problem-solving and collaboration to support cutting-edge experiments at the forefront of science.

At Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, postdoctoral researcher Ryan Linehan explores the intersection of quantum information science and particle physics by studying how particles impact superconducting quantum devices. Linehan’s work helps advance both quantum computing and dark matter detection.
