Caltech’s Pioneering Quantum Hub Celebrates 25 Years
In September 2000, Caltech's Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) was born (albeit with a different name, the Institute for Quantum Information, or IQI). At the time, it was one of the world's first [...]
Quantum learning advantage on a scalable photonic platform
An international, multi-institution effort has shown a significant speed-up in using quantum learning techniques to characterize physical systems. The researchers showed that while a classical, entanglement-free approach to these measurements would take 20 million years, [...]

A mechanical quantum memory for microwave photons
Superconducting qubits possess outstanding capabilities for processing quantum information in the microwave domain; however they have limited coherence times. An interface between photons and phonons could allow quantum information to be stored in long-lived mechanical [...]
BASILISK partners with IQIM and the Planetary Society
BASILISK, the global esports organization built to champion science, debuted two historic partnerships at the Esports World Cup 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this week – furthering its mission to elevate science advocacy through the [...]
