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.
The State of South Dakota allocated $13M to expand the underground footprint at SURF with new space for future experiments. On March 23, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem signed Senate Bill 35 to allocate $13 million for the expansion of SURF.
