Multiplexing Entanglement in a Quantum Network
Laying the groundwork for quantum communication systems of the future, engineers at Caltech have demonstrated the successful operation of a quantum network of two nodes, each containing multiple quantum bits, or qubits—the fundamental information-storing building [...]
Caltech Mourns the Passing of Jeff Kimble
Harry Jeffrey Kimble, the William L. Valentine Professor of Physics, Emeritus, passed away on September 2, 2024, at the age of 75. A giant in the field of physics, Kimble—who was also known as H.J. [...]

Verifying the Work of Quantum Computers, Nature paper by the Endres Group
Quantum computers of the future may ultimately outperform their classical counterparts to solve intractable problems in computer science, medicine, business, chemistry, physics, and other fields. But the machines are not there yet: They are riddled [...]
John Preskill discusses “What is Quantum Teleportation?” and more on Joy of Why Podcast
Quantum teleportation isn’t just science fiction; it’s entirely real and happening in laboratories today. But teleporting quantum particles and information is a far cry from beaming people through space. In some ways, it’s even more [...]
Physicists Finally Find a Problem That Only Quantum Computers Can Do
Quanta magazine features recent work by John Preskill, Hsin-Yuan (Robert) Huang, IQIM graduate student Chi-Fang (Anthony) Chen, and DuBridge Postdoctoral Scholar Leo Zhou toward identifying a viable problem that confers a quantum advantage — something [...]
