In the fast-evolving world of quantum computing, one of the biggest hurdles isn’t how fast calculations can be done—it’s how long you can hold onto the delicate quantum information in the first place.

A team of Caltech scientists has fabricated a superconducting qubit on a chip and connected it to a tiny device that scientists call a mechanical oscillator. Essentially a miniature tuning fork, the ...

Located on the north side of California Boulevard, the Ginsburg Center will house Caltech’s entire quantum sciences group in a single location when complete in fall 2026. October 21, 2025 From ...

Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech, specializes in finely controlling single atoms using devices known as optical tweezers. He and his colleagues use the tweezers, made of laser light, to ...

This image shows 6,100 cesium atoms trapped by highly focused laser beams called optical tweezers. The width of the circle is about one millimeter. Quantum computers will need large numbers of qubits ...

A new experiment encodes quantum information in the motion of the atoms and creates a state known as hyper-entanglement, in which two or more traits are linked among a pair of atoms. Manuel Endres, ...
