Recently, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States announced the establishment of a new Quantum Sensing and Computing Research Center named "QUIET," located 100 meters underground, along with a twin laboratory named "LOUD" on the surface. According to reports, Fermilab aims to directly compare the performance of quantum sensors in environments with reduced cosmic ray interference underground versus surface conditions through controlled experiments.

British scientists have successfully integrated the world’s tiniest quantum light detector onto a silicon chip. These types of detectors are called homodyne detectors, have a circuit size of 80 micrometers by 220 micrometers, and can operate at room temperature. It is expected to become a crucial component in various quantum communication, quantum sensing, and quantum computing devices.
