The Muon g-2 experiment searches for telltale signs of new particles and forces by examining the muon’s interaction with a surrounding magnetic field. By precisely determining the magnetic moment of the muon and comparing with similarly exact theoretical predictions, the experiment is sensitive to new physics lurking in the subatomic quantum fluctuations surrounding the muon. The highly anticipated result from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthens the experiment’s 2021 result and doubles its precision. It is also the world's most precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

In 2022, a team of scientists including Dr. Joe Lykken, leader of the Fermilab Quantum Institute, published an article about the observation of wormhole dynamics in the science journal Nature. It was featured on the cover of the Dec. 1 issue of the magazine. In the article, the team described observable phenomena produced by a quantum processor that “are consistent with the dynamics of a transversable wormhole.” Working with a Sycamore quantum computer at Google, the team had been able to transfer information from one area of the computer to another through a quantum system utilizing artificial intelligence hardware.
Lykken, a Fermilab distinguished scientist and former deputy director of research, earned his doctorate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has previously worked for the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics and the University of Chicago. He began his tenure at Fermilab in 1989. Lykken is a fellow of the American Physical Society and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The Fermilab Quantum Institute leverages Fermilab’s expertise and infrastructure and partnerships with leading quantum information science researchers to pursue high-impact research and development in quantum information science, while advancing high-energy physics applications.
