Daniel Bafia will develop a new measurement approach that uses magnetic vortices to investigate defects and interfaces that can limit the performance of superconducting quantum devices. The project could provide researchers with a new way to understand and ultimately reduce sources of energy loss in quantum materials.

Two new awards will expand Fermilab’s critical role in the Genesis Mission by developing custom microelectronics and advancing quantum information science.

A first-of-its-kind blinded materials characterization study spanning 22 superconducting quantum devices, seven characterization techniques and six leading institutions helps build the scientific foundations of scalable quantum computing.

Quantum computing is becoming a revolutionary tool for scientific discovery.

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.

Fermilab is among the initial partners in Microsoft Quantum’s newly established quantum research center. Opening in the Discovery District, Maryland, the center will feature a quantum hardware makerspace, where researchers can develop new approaches to hands-on quantum training. As part of this effort, Fermilab will expand the capabilities of its Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, an open-source quantum control and readout system, providing flexible new tools to the quantum community.

Bosonic quantum error-correction devices at Fermilab’s SQMS Center use multiple quantum states within harmonic oscillators, a departure from traditional two-level qubit systems and a potential pathway to increased fault tolerance.

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.

Gustavo Cancelo, senior scientist at Fermilab near Chicago talks about QICK, the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, an open source platform developed at Fermilab that has become a widely adopted tool for quantum control and readout across four continents.

The Department of Energy has been supporting basic research in 1985 has set the foundation for today’s quantum technology.
