collaboration

Fermilab is joining Microsoft Quantum as an initial partner in a new quantum hardware makerspace at Microsoft’s quantum research center in the University of Maryland’s Discovery District. As part of its broader collaboration with Microsoft, the QICK kit will have expanded tools to broaden access to quantum-control technologies across hardware platforms.

Researchers from all over the world gathered recently at Unicamp for the Dune Collaboration Meeting to to discuss progress of the Dune Project led by Fermilab.

Crews at the Sanford Underground Research Facility have moved about 39% of the I-beam steel needed to construct the cryotat for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. That represents nearly 2 million pounds of steel that completely fills the south cavern that is 500 feet long, 65 feet wide, and about 7 stories tall.

NVIDIA announced an expansion of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q open source platform with CUDA-Q Logical, a verifiable approach to developing useful applications for fault-tolerant quantum computers. Fermilab researchers used the platform accelerating fault-tolerant algorithm development from five months to three weeks, a 7x speedup.

Rice University’s DUNE-TECH program introduces undergraduates to the science behind DUNE, one of the nation’s most ambitious physics experiments.

A four-year project to produce two HL-ZDCs for one of the CMS collider’s main detectors was approved for funding. The detectors will be fabricated and assembled at KU’s Mechanical Prototyping Lab, tested with high-energy particle beams at Fermilab and installed at CERN for the next phase of physics research at the supercollider.

Fermilab is collaborating with Harmoniqs to integrate its Piccolo.jl software, a quantum control and calibration package, with QICK, to enable more precise and repeatable qubit manipulation.

University of Sussex professor and DUNE collaborator Kate Shaw presented a public talk in Rapid City about the science behind DUNE and why we study neutrinos.

More than 250 physicists and researchers attended the international DUNE conference hosted by South Dakota Mines May 18-22, bringing together members of the DUNE collaboration that includes more than 1,500 scientists from over 220 institutions across 38 countries.

CERN Director-General Mark Thomson met with dignitaries and officials at SURF on May 7 to mark a milestone for the international DUNE experiment.
