Creating quantum connections: Workshop brings together quantum networking experts from around the world

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory

In the future, quantum computers and sensors are expected to be distributed around the globe, and they will need to be connected through a quantum version of the internet. At a recent workshop, researchers discussed paths to building a quantum network.

Interns boost careers at PNNL

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

In honor of National Intern Day, PNNL and intern Jonathan Mills were named among the Top 100 in the nation by early-career recruiting firm WayUp.

Propelling wind energy innovation

DOE/Sandia National Laboratories

Motivated by the need to eliminate expensive rare-earth magnets in utility-scale direct-drive wind turbines, Sandia National Laboratories researchers developed a fundamentally new type of rotary electrical contact. Sandia is now ready to partner with the renewable energy industry to develop the next generation of direct-drive wind turbines.

New superconducting qubit testbed benefits quantum information science development

DOE/Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

A new testbed facility capable of testing superconducting qubit fidelity in a controlled environment free of stray background radiation will benefit quantum information sciences and the development of quantum computing.

Argonne research to help US achieve net-zero carbon emissions goal

DOE/Argonne National Laboratory
