About Us
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory operated by Stanford University.
It serves as a multidisciplinary research institution exploring fundamental physics, materials science, and various scientific domains.
The laboratory develops and operates advanced scientific user facilities, including the Linac Coherent Light Source and Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource.
SLAC is a founding partner and a key contributor to Q-NEXT, a National Quantum Information Science Research Center.
It hosts the SLAC Superconducting Quantum Foundry, which specializes in fabricating superconducting quantum sensors and integrated circuits.
Research teams, including the Dark Matter/Quantum Information Science Group, design and utilize ultra-sensitive quantum sensors for particle physics and cosmology.
SLAC advances quantum materials research by studying and manipulating their atomic structures using powerful X-ray facilities and computational methods.
The laboratory develops advanced radiofrequency and microwave technologies that provide enabling infrastructure for quantum computing advancements.
Through the Q-FARM initiative with Stanford, SLAC fosters quantum science and engineering education and workforce development.
Recent efforts have focused on expanding quantum communication networks and strengthening quantum materials development.
