emerging technologies

In recognition of World Quantum Day, Fermilab’s Sara Sussman writes about the first benchmark from NEXUS qubit data. The new data has enabled the training of NVIDIA Ising Calibration, a vision language model for automating the calibration of quantum processors.

Scientists designed a state-of-the-art detector to electronically tune itself, enabling scientists to search broader frequency ranges for evidence of weak signals produced by dark photons — possible dark matter particles — much faster and more precisely than ever before.

Chris Edwards, an Engineering Project Manager at Fermilab, discusses the collaboration with Proficio, utilizing Fermilab’s electron-beam technology to develop methods for treating water contaminated with PFAS.

Researchers at the Illinois Accelerator Research Center at Fermilab have developed powerful, compact, and mobile electron accelerators powered by SRF technologies. A compact SRF accelerator
is a cost-effective, compact version that will enable novel applications.

Fermilab and Stanford University researchers have developed XCOM, a novel network designed to synchronize quantum instrumentation and facilitate low-latency communication.

A new network architecture from Fermilab targets a key challenge in scaling quantum computing systems: low-latency, predictable communication across control hardware. The XCOM system connects multiple QICK boards in a mesh network, enabling synchronized operation and deterministic communication between distributed control electronics.

The Genesis Mission is leveraging the strength of the U.S. Department of Energy’s 17 national laboratories, including Fermilab, alongside American research universities and industry partners. The collaborative effort aims to supercharge innovation by integrating the transformative power of artificial intelligence across the national research landscape.

The NEXUS research team at Fermilab recently repeated the 2019 experiment after removing cosmic interference, find quantum information disturbed by other ways. This is the first time scientists have measured charge noise in a chip consisting of multiple qubits.

In a pioneering study at an underground laboratory at Fermilab, scientists measured bursts of charge across multiple superconducting qubits. Their work advances understanding of how background noise impacts qubits while contributing to the development of more precise sensors to discover new physics phenomena and more fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Researchers at Fermilab have revealed that an emerging class of quantum sensors, called superconducting microwire single-photon detectors (SMSPDs), could spot high-energy particles and dark matter with exceptional precision.
