The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is renewing its support for the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Quantum Computation (NSF CIQC).
Welcome to the 2026 CIQC Annual Retreat
June 28-30, 2026
A new study, led by researchers at California Institute of Technology and a new startup company Oratomic, Inc., in collaboration with partners at UC Berkeley.
Early-career researchers from California and Bavaria gathered last week for the Cal-Bay Quantum School.
Caltech physicists have created the largest qubit array ever assembled: 6,100 neutral-atom qubits trapped in a grid by lasers.
A collaboration between CIQC researchers and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has demonstrated a new class of ion traps that bridges the gap between high-performance physics and scalable engineering.
At the California Quantum Convening in November, the panel “Building California’s Quantum Workforce: CIQC” brought together leaders from across the University of California system.
In a groundbreaking new course supported by the CIQC, students aren’t just learning the equations behind quantum mechanics, they are designing and measuring their own superconducting qubit chips.
The University of California, in partnership with the State of California, hosted the California Quantum Convening at UC Berkeley.
Revolutionary achievement could lead to smaller, more efficient nuclear clocks
