Quantum sensors and quantum computers may benefit from a reduction in cosmic-ray muons offered in places like the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD.
Since 2012, Spearfish High School science teacher Steve Gabriel has been leading a student mentorship program that gives his students hands-on, real-world experience in monitoring the underground airflow at SURF.
Davis-Bahcall Scholars travel the world for four weeks each summer touring cutting-edge research facilities and meeting scientists who are leading their fields.
Each summer, college students take part in the Research Experience for Undergraduates program at Black Hills State University and the Sanford Underground Research Facility.
