The Department of Energy has recognized Fermilab Deputy Director of Research Joe Lykken and Fermilab Neutrino Division Head Steve Brice each with a 2021 Secretary’s Honor Award. The awards recognize DOE employees and contractors for their service and contributions to DOE’s mission and for the benefit of the nation. They are among the highest honors an employee or contractor can receive.
“I want to thank all the recipients for their vital contributions to the department and our country,” said former Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette. “I am truly honored to work alongside such brilliant, talented individuals who show unwavering commitment to public service. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition.”

Fermilab and partners achieve sustained, high-fidelity quantum teleportation
Dec 28, 2020 Quantum information ‘teleported’ at Fermilab, Caltech represents step toward quantum internet
A viable quantum internet a network in which information stored in qubits is shared over long distances through entanglement would transform the fields of data storage, precision sensing and computing, ushering in a new era of communication.
This month, scientists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory affiliated with the University of Chicago along with partners at five institutions took a significant step in the direction of realizing a quantum internet.

In a paper published in PRX Quantum, the team presents for the first time a demonstration of a sustained, long-distance (44 kilometers of fiber) teleportation of qubits of photons (quanta of light) with fidelity greater than 90%. The qubits were teleported over a fiber-optic network using state-of-the-art single-photon detectors and off-the-shelf equipment.
