Caltech physicists have created the largest qubit array ever assembled: 6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers. This milestone comes amid a rapidly growing race to scale up quantum computers. There are several approaches in development, including those based on superconducting circuits, trapped ions, and neutral atoms, as used in the new study. “This is an exciting moment for neutral-atom quantum computing,” says Manuel Endres, professor of physics at Caltech. “We can now see a pa

Last week, we welcomed our newly admitted class to explore all things Caltech. From mock lectures, to lab tours, to organization fairs, but the highlight was our closing Egg Drop competition! Students were split into teams and challenged to protect an egg from a 9-story rooftop drop, check out how the competition unfolded! | Caltech
