SQMS

Anna Grassellino, a senior scientist and the director of the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Fermilab, was honored with the Knight of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic for her pioneering contributions to superconducting quantum technologies. Known for her groundbreaking work on superconducting radiofrequency cavities, Grassellino has helped to revolutionize and lead advancements in particle accelerators and quantum information science.

IBM plans to join Fermilab’s SQMS Center to further accelerate critical technologies and applications of superconducting quantum systems and expand quantum workforce development programs.

The Italian Marisa Bellisario Award was presented to Anna Grassellino, an Italian and American scientist with Fermilab who was recognized in the international category for her scientific work and leadership.

Zorzetti’s research aims to help preserve quantum information by focusing on improvements to the way we transport it. The award provides $2.5 million over the next five years to support her work.

Anna Grassellino speaks with Physics World on why cross-disciplinary collaboration within the national laboratory framework and enabling technologies pioneered at Fermilab at the SQMS Center are leading to the success of practical applications of quantum computing and quantum sensing.

The Fermilab-hosted SQMS Center achieved a significant milestone with the opening of one of the largest quantum research laboratories in the country. The lab hosts multiple experimental platforms at the forefront of quantum information science, technology and workforce development.

Learn why startup founders, researchers, and students are calling the Midwest region ‘the premier hub for quantum’ and how their investments are strengthening the ecosystem.

The U.S. Quantum Information Science school, hosted at Fermilab, will be the one of the largest federally sponsored events to educate the next generation of quantum science researchers, engineers and support staff.

Royal Holloway University of London and the National Physical Laboratory bring expertise and research capabilities to the SQMS Center as new partnership institutions.

From Physics World, April 13, 2023: In recognition of World Quantum Day today, Physics World speaks with Fermilab’s Anna Grassellino, director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center. In this podcast, Grassellino explains how SQMS brings together people with a broad range of expertise to create new quantum technologies and how quantum sensors can be used to look for physics beyond the Standard Model.
