SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University will partner with other institutions on one of the National Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research Centers, Q-NEXT, led by Argonne National Lab. The work of Q-NEXT will focus on commercialization of new technologies and ensure that the U.S. remains at the forefront in this advancing field. Researchers at SLAC and Stanford will work on numerous topics including quantum sensors and networks, materials characterization and simulations.
