Fermilab is collaborating with Harmoniqs to integrate its Piccolo.jl software, a quantum control and calibration package, with QICK, to enable more precise and repeatable qubit manipulation.

Fermilab developed the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, as a compact, customizable and cost-effective quantum readout and control option for scientists. Harmoniqs, a quantum computing software company, developed Piccolo.jl, a quantum control and calibration software package. Together, their developers are integrating the two to achieve precise, repeatable qubit control, providing better results in less time.

Anna Grassellino of Fermilab will serve on SCAC and chair the quantum subcommittee, tasked with advancing national quantum goals.

With a sharp focus on Fermilab’s core scientific mission, Norbert Holtkamp is establishing clear priorities and a disciplined strategy that align the laboratory with the nation’s most ambitious research goals. His leadership is positioning Fermilab for long‑term success.

Supported by a DOE Early Career Award, a Fermilab scientist is building a scalable superconducting cavity array to detect faint signals from mysterious dark photons with unprecedented speed and sensitivity.

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.
