HRL Laboratories published the first demonstration of universal control of encoded spin qubits. This newly emerging approach to quantum computation uses a novel silicon-based qubit device architecture, fabricated in HRL’s Malibu cleanroom, to trap single electrons in quantum dots. The article Universal logic with encoded spin qubits in silicon was posted online ahead of publication in the journal Nature. HRL is a world leader in silicon qubit technology. |
Culture
What keeps people inspired to do their best work? Year after year, HRL is recognized as a great place to work. This is based on the environment our teams help shape every day, one defined by meaningful technical challenges, collaboration and a culture that supports growth. |

Dr. Paul G. Kaminski served as HRL Laboratories' Chairman of the Board from 2004 until 2023. That's 19 years - nearly two decades of leadership excellence and unwavering guidance that helped the organization thrive. With a profound influence on HRL's success and culture, Dr. Kaminski championed HRL to push the boundaries of innovation. As he retires from this role, Dr. Kaminski provides his insightful perspective on the history of HRL as well as the future of science and technology. His remarkable career focused on turning bold ideas into reality, assembling brilliant teams and consistently overcoming obstacles to realize victories. These qualities are at the heart of HRL's identity. To thank him, HRL dedicates its newly modernized Auditorium space to Dr. Paul. G. Kaminski. HRL continues to leverage Dr. Kaminski's wisdom as a consultant in key strategic areas. |
