Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center

The Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center is a U.S. Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Center led by Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, and established in 2020 under a five-year DOE award. It is not a company but a consortium whose research covers superconducting qubit materials, fabrication and coherence limits, 3D superconducting microwave cavity architectures for quantum computing, and quantum sensing, including searches for axions and dark matter. Partner institutions include Rigetti Computing, Ames National Laboratory, Northwestern University, the University of Illinois, and other universities and national labs.
