Congratulations to our outstanding scientist @Akshay_A_Murthy and our colleagues at @NorthwesternU for a fantastic publication on @acsnano on nanoscale defects leading to decoherence in superconducting qubits! @Fermilab @sqmscenter

[Anna Grassellino @GrassellinoSRF]

So proud of our fantastic leaders in materials and devices nanofab who were awarded today a ⁦@Fermilab⁩ exceptional performance recognition award for their work ⁦@sqmscenter⁩

[SQMS Center @sqmscenter]

#SQMSCenter director @AGrassellino was awarded the prestigious @brkthroughprize,“for the discovery of major performance enhancements to niobium superconducting radio-frequency cavities, with applications ranging from accelerator physics to quantum devices.” Congratulations! 🎊

Electron microscopy is an excellent tool for identifying nanoscale features limiting performance of superconducting qubits. To learn more about these features as well as strategies to improve performance, please take a look at our recent @arxiv preprint

[SQMS Center @sqmscenter]

We had the best time giving a virtual tour of SQMS with @C2ST and @FermilabEd ! Thanks to our awesome scientists for presenting and sharing their stories. @dmtvanzanten @Akshay_A_Murthy 🎊

Impurities in superconducting qubits limit the time over which quantum information can be stored. In our recently published work, we examine what impurities are present and how they are introduced.

Here's a great article written by students in the @MedillSchool @NorthwesternU on how quantum computing can make a societal impact.

As we progress towards this goal, I hope to use this platform to share our findings and provide a perspective on our journey towards making quantum advantage a reality.

[Akshay Murthy @Akshay_A_Murthy]

To do so, requires transformational advances in all aspects of quantum science and technology including materials engineering, device fabrication and design, and quantum algorithm development.

[Akshay Murthy @Akshay_A_Murthy]

How do we build the first large-scale quantum computer? This is the ambitious question we at the #SQMSCenter, a @doescience national quantum center led by @Fermilab in conjunction with various partners including @NorthwesternU @rigetti @Ames_Laboratory @NIST, aim to answer.
