A new study published in the journal PRX Quantum demonstrates how a network of quantum computers employing optical clocks can probe gravitational effects on quantum systems.

Fermilab recently ended a 10-week-long program that offered lessons in quantum physics and engineering. Several students, according to Chico, have since started internships in the “quantum ecosystem.”

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see firsthand how the lab is advancing American leadership in fundamental science, artificial intelligence and quantum research. During his tour, he explored cutting-edge projects and praised Fermilab’s commitment to understanding the structure of the universe.

Mackenzie Ring helps bring quantum research to life as a mechanical technician for the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Fermilab, assembling and maintaining the complex systems inside the SQMS dilution refrigerators. Mackenzie’s role combines hands-on work, problem-solving and collaboration to support cutting-edge experiments at the forefront of science.

A team of researchers at Fermilab titled, “Entangling remote superconducting qubits via transducer-generated multi-time-bin states”, demonstrates improved fidelity in both ideal transduction systems and those subject to noise, aiming to offer a potentially scalable architecture for future heterogeneous quantum networks.

At Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, postdoctoral researcher Ryan Linehan explores the intersection of quantum information science and particle physics by studying how particles impact superconducting quantum devices. Linehan’s work helps advance both quantum computing and dark matter detection.

As the Quantum Science Center prepares to move forward into the next era of research, QSC Director Travis Humble highlighted the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit developed at Fermilab as a significant accomplishment.

The former U.S. Steel plant is planned to be developed into a quantum research park named South Works. Fermilab’s Ben Hansen, director of the cryogenic technology division, talks about developing the cryogenic resources.

A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research.

Amy Nam, the 2025 Fermi Forward Discovery Group Guest Composer, will use her musical talents to transform complex physics concepts from research at Fermilab into accessible auditory experiences for the public. Through her project, “The Harp Inside Schrödinger’s Box,” Nam aims to blend original harp music and spoken word to both educate and engage new audiences with quantum physics research.
