SQMS Center

“We welcome the addition of IBM to the SQMS collaboration, which brings together some of the world’s top experts in superconducting materials, devices and quantum systems. This collaboration aims to leverage our complementary technical strengths and shared goals to advance superconducting quantum systems for progressing toward a fault-tolerant quantum computer,” said Anna Grassellino, SQMS Center Director.

A huge congratulations to our very own Anna Grassellino for being honored with the illustrious Marisa Belissario award! This esteemed Italian accolade celebrates women who have achieved extraordinary success across professional, social, cultural, and scientific fields. 🇮🇹 The award citation read by Minister Tajani stated: “Anna Grassellino receives the Bellisario Award for the extraordinary talent, determination and courage that have earned her the international leadership in research, in technologies that will open new scientific horizons. She is an ambassador of the Italian genius in the world and source of inspiration for all girls who aspire to have a STEM career.” https://lnkd.in/gx7bBPkb

We are excited to share this leading result which was published in Nature NPJ Quantum Information. This milestone was achieved with the collaboration of our amazing partners at Fermilab, Rigetti Computing, NIST, Northwestern and LSU.

Special delivery! 📦 Researchers at the SQMS Center have developed qubits at the forefront of coherence and, together with Rigetti Computing, have now co-developed a prototype 9-qubit processor with qubit surface encapsulation and cross-resonance gates that will advance the current state-of-the-art in QPUs performance. The QPU is being installed in the SQMS Quantum Garage at Fermilab. Stay tuned for the upcoming results! 🔎
