We thought that Senator Adam Schiff would want to hear about how quantum computing will benefit the world. But actually he is just really, really curious about quantum entanglement (and knows a lot about it)! Thanks for visiting @caltech.edu, Senator. It was fun.

Today was the last meeting of our first-year seminar @caltech.edu: "Quantum information science today and tomorrow." I'm grateful to (from left to right) Andy, Jin, Fan, Ostap, Justin, Idil, Lily, Ella, and Ronald for their sparkling enthusiasm and many perceptive insights.
From dream to reality: The bridge connecting quantum information and matter to high energy physics @caltech.edu now exists.
Wise words from Garnet Chan on quantum computing and chemistry.

Garnet Chan reflects on recent progress using classical heuristics in computational quantum chemistry—and what it means for quantum computing. The lessons he draws can help to steer both classical and quantum approaches in scientifically productive directions.
