Fermilab marks major milestone for world-leading DUNE experiment
An event at the far site of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota marked the start of steel beams being lowered underground to house DUNE’s massive particle detectors. The event was attended by senior leaders from the Department of Energy; members of Congress; Fermilab, CERN and SURF leadership; and members of the local community, all of whom had the chance to sign one of the steel beams being installed.
Fermilab and Harmoniqs integrate open-source tools to advance qubit control optimization
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.
Fermilab marks 70 years of neutrino science and leads next-generation experiment
As Fermilab commemorates 70 years since the discovery of the neutrino at the Savannah River Site in the United States, the lab also celebrates its multiple generations of pioneering neutrino research. Today, Fermilab is building the next era of neutrino discovery through the development of the world-leading Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
