Fermilab to lead $115 million National Quantum Information Science Research Center
DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Fermilab has been selected to lead one of five national centers to bring about transformational advances in quantum information science as a part of the U.S. National Quantum Initiative. The initiative provides the new Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center $115 million over five years with the goal of building and deploying a beyond-state-of-the-art quantum computer based on superconducting technologies.

Searching for supernova neutrinos with DUNE
DOE/Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
The international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment collaboration has published a paper about its capability for performing supernova physics. It details the kind of activity DUNE expects in the detector during a supernova burst, how DUNE will know once a supernova occurs and what physics DUNE will extract from the neutrinos. DUNE's unique strength is its sensitivity to a particular type of neutrino called the electron neutrino, which will provide scientists with supernova data not available from any other experiment.
