Description
Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities are fundamental components of particle accelerators, but their uses extend beyond the accelerator field. Extensive R&D on SRF cavities has enabled to achieve ultra-high quality factors, opening the doors for new applications, such as quantum information science and searches for new fundamental physics. The Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center is leading the effort on this front with a focus area dedicated to quantum physics and sensing.
Support from HEP to the quantum field allowed to strengthen this research line through small-scale experiments searching for dark matter candidates, new particles, and gravitational waves. Continued support from HEP may enable to multiply the efforts and also grow the most promising smaller searches into larger experiments that leverage Fermilab leading expertise in SRF cavities and the quantum technology progress brought forward by the QIS field.
