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.

Fermilab scientists are part of a team of researchers tackling the complex challenge of understanding atomic nuclei and neutron stars by modelling the interactions of protons and neutrons.

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.

Magnetic resonance imaging, commonly known as MRI, is a cornerstone of modern medical diagnostics. Now, a collaboration from Fermilab and NYU Langone Health, both partners in the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, takes this technology a step further with Quantitative MRI.

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.

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.
