Fermilab names Jim Kerby as LBNF/DUNE U.S. project director
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced Jim Kerby as project director for Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility for the Deep Underground Neutrino (LBNF/DUNE U.S.) He will be responsible for managing all aspects of the project in the U.S. as Fermilab leads the execution of the largest international DOE project ever hosted on U.S. soil.
Fermilab champions Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility with awards ceremony
Eighteen staff members at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory were recognized for their leadership and work to uphold and further the equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility principals at Fermilab. The recipients were honored with awards during a ceremony held at the lab's iconic Wilson Hall in March.
QUIET: a place to study qubits shielded from the effects of cosmic rays
A new underground research space at Fermilab allows scientists to study superconducting quantum qubits in an environment with significantly reduced interference caused by cosmic rays. The laboratory, called QUIET, has a twin at the Earth's surface named LOUD. This arrangement allows for controlled direct comparisons of quantum sensor and computing experiments.
A physicists' guide to the ethics of artificial intelligence
Physics may seem like its own world, but different sectors using machine learning are all part of the same universe.
Researchers at the SQMS Center achieve leading performance in transmon qubits
Through unique qubit fabrication techniques, scientists have demonstrated systematic improvements in the performance of superconducting devices for quantum computing, communication, and sensing.
Brazilian funding agency representatives visit Fermilab
Fermilab received visitors from the São Paulo Research Foundation, including the foundation's executive director, Carlos Américo Pacheco. The group came to hear from researchers and engineers about how Fermilab brings technologies together from across disciplines to make advances in particle physics detectors, particle accelerators, quantum computing and more.
