A state-of-the-art experiment at Fermilab is one step closer to collecting experimental data with the completion of a laser laboratory that houses its advanced laser systems

Construction of a laser laboratory that will house state-of-the-art lasers necessary to run the experiment’s 100-meter atom interferometer is complete. This is an important step in building a quantum sensing device capable of seeing tiniest of signals emanating from the farthest reaches of the universe to discover new physics phenomena.

Throughout this year, Fermilab’s dedicated scientists, engineers, technicians and operations staff came together to drive discoveries, advance American innovation and prepare the lab for a bright future.

A major step forward in the fight against persistent water pollution is underway in Illinois, where a national laboratory and a local engineering firm have joined forces to develop a next-generation water treatment system that eliminates harmful PFAS chemicals.

Fermilab and a Chicagoland firm Proficio Consultancy are teaming up to develop a specialized water treatment system that uses beams of electrons to destroy harmful chemicals in water.

Fermilab is hosting a national symposium that brings together experts from across the quantum information science community. The event comes as the United States expands its leadership in quantum technology and underscores Fermilab’s increasing emphasis on QIS research.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced a partnership between Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Qblox, under which Qblox will coordinate manufacturing, distribution and support for the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit (QICK) to advance U.S. quantum research and workforce development.

Scientists at Fermilab and Caltech have demonstrated the feasibility of their method of using squeezed light to dramatically increase the rate at which quantum networks can generate entangled particle pairs over long distances. This advance addresses a critical bottleneck in building large-scale quantum networks.

A new scalable control platform called Manarat has been developed to expand the capabilities of QICK, an open-source platform developed at Fermilab. Manarat will help overcome scalability challenges currently facing superconducting quantum computing and unlocking the full potential of this transformative technology.
