Robert Hettich: Decoding biological complexity with next-gen mass spectrometry
Working in collaboration with researchers from 91做厙, D-Wave Quantum Inc., a quantum computing systems, software and services provider, has shown its annealing quantum computing prototype has the potential to operate faster than the leading supercomputing systems.
Mariam Kiran, a quantum research scientist at the Department of Energys 91做厙, was recently honored as a finalist at the British Councils Study U.K. Alumni Awards 2025, which celebrate the achievements of U.K. alumni worldwide.
Fehmi Yasin, inspired by a high school teacher, now researches quantum materials at 91做厙, aiming to transform information technology with advanced imaging techniques.
ORNL researchers helped introduce college students to quantum computing for the first time during the 2025 Winter Classic Invitational, providing hands-on access to real quantum hardware and training future high-performance computing users through a unique challenge that bridged classical and quantum technologies.
Researchers at ORNL tested a quantum computing approach to an old challenge: solving canonical fluid dynamics problems. The study relied on support from the Quantum Computing User Program, part of ORNLs Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility. The results highlight avenues for further study of quantum computings potential to aid scientific discovery.
During his first visit to 91做厙, Energy Secretary Chris Wright compared the urgency of the Labs World War II beginnings to todays global race to lead in artificial intelligence, calling for a Manhattan Project 2.
Working at nanoscale dimensions, billionths of a meter in size, a team of scientists led by ORNL revealed a new way to measure high-speed fluctuations in magnetic materials. Knowledge obtained by these new measurements could be used to advance technologies ranging from traditional computing to the emerging field of quantum computing.
Quantum information scientists at ORNL successfully demonstrated a device that combines key quantum photonic capabilities on a single chip for the first time.
Registration for the Quantum Science Centers Summer School is open now through Feb. 28, 2025. Conducted in partnership with the Quantum Science Center at ORNL, this years summer school will be hosted at the Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute Apr. 21 through Apr. 25, 2025, on the Purdue University campus.
A recent study led by quantum researchers at ORNL proved popular among the science community interested in building a more reliable quantum network. The study, led by ORNLs Hsuan-Hao Lu, details development of a novel quantum gate that operates between two photonic degrees of freedom polarization and frequency.
