FERMILAB QUANTUM INSTITUTE


SOLVING THE CHALLENGES OF QUANTUM SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL

Quantum Information Science, or QIS, exploits quantum properties (such as
coherence, superposition, entanglement and squeezing) and combines them with
elements of information science to acquire, communicate and process information
beyond what classical approaches can achieve.

The Fermilab Quantum Institute, or FQI, leverages existing Fermilab expertise
and infrastructure and partners with leading QIS researchers to pursue
high-impact QIS research and development while advancing high-energy physics
applications. In this pursuit, FQI takes advantage of new quantum capabilities
and builds the capacity necessary for the applications’ deployment. In support
of the Fermilab science program and HEP science objectives, FQI engages with QIS
initiatives across the entire DOE Office of Science.


QIS APPLICATIONS

Because they can overcome the noise that quantum fluctuations produce, precisely
controlled quantum systems can acquire information to achieve sensitivity and
resolution that is superior compared to conventional measurement approaches. The
applications range from precision measurements of the magnitude and direction of
fields, measurements of phase shifts and superior performance of ensembles of
atomic clocks.

One such example is the use of qubits as sensors for searching for dark matter
particles. This approach improves the experimental signal-to-noise ratio for the
detection of dark matter candidates.

Information encoded in quantum states can be moved over macroscopic distances
coherently for secure communications and networking of quantum computers or
sensors.

Quantum networks rely on entanglement distribution and teleportation to transmit
quantum information between any two locations, enabling information sharing
across the network. Entanglement is the phenomenon in which the quantum states
of two or more qubits are correlated, no matter their distance. Entanglement is
integral to quantum teleportation. Learn how Fermilab achieved quantum
teleportation and how Fermilab is developing Quantum Networks in the Chicago
metropolitan area. 

Information encoded in quantum states is manipulated to solve hard problems and
probe quantum phenomena, such as simulations of quantum field theories and
quantum machine learning and optimization algorithms for Monte Carlo event
generators, event reconstruction, data analysis and object classification.

At FQI, scientists develop algorithms that are expressed as sets of tasks a
quantum computer uses to solve a problem. Quantum gates are manipulations of the
qubit state that are like computer instructions. They are arranged in quantum
circuits that act on input qubits and end in measurements. Learn how Fermilab is
developing quantum algorithms to solve some of the biggest challenges in
physics.
