Caltech announced today that Break Through: The Caltech Campaign, the largest campaign in the Institute's history, raised $3.4 billion from more than 14,500 donors. "I'm grateful to all who have decided Caltech is the place that deserves this very, very generous support, which provides us with a firm foundation to go forward into unknown territories," says David L. Lee (PhD '74), chair of the Caltech Board of Trustees. "We appreciate each supporter of this campaign who believes in us, believes i

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
