The U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has recently launched the Fermilab Quantum Institute to bring all of the lab's quantum projects under one organization. Some of the areas the institute is researching include: Using technology developed for superconducting particle accelerators to vastly improve qubit systems, including those used for future quantum computers. Developing ways to convey information across large distances with entangled particles. Improving quantum sensors for many applications and deploying them to potentially detect dark matter and give us new insights into the universe. Writing algorithms that can simulate subatomic interactions on quantum computers, with many other uses outside of physics. Developing methods to use quantum computing to improve data analysis and theoretical calculations. Fermilab is already partnering with many other government labs and universities in its research and is a member of the Chicago Quantum Exchange.
