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.

A team of researchers from Fermilab, University of Chicago, Stanford University, and New York University
have developed an electronically-tunable quantum detector that significantly speeds up the search for dark photons, a leading candidate for dark matter.

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.

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 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.

Scientists are continuing a groundbreaking study of superconducting microwire single photon detectors, or SMSPDs. These ultrasensitive devices show great promise for particle physics research of the future.

A partnership between the Quantum Science Center and the Quantum Systems Accelerator, two U.S. Department of Energy national quantum information science research centers, has enabled a breakthrough by Fermilab and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Researchers used cryoelectronics to control ion traps, a key step toward realizing scalable quantum computers.

The Fermilab developed the QICK quantum control system links up with QASMTrans quantum compilation framework to bridge the gap between logical circuits and the underlying hardware.
