Amazon And Caltech Join Forces To Create New Quantum Computing Hub Apr 2026

: The center focuses on building quantum processors using superconducting circuits, chosen for their potential to be manufactured repeatably using existing microelectronic fabrication techniques.

In October 2021, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Caltech officially opened the , a two-story, 21,000-square-foot facility located on the Caltech campus in Pasadena, California. This center is the university's first "corporate-partnership building" and serves as a dedicated hub for developing "fault-tolerant" quantum computers—machines capable of correcting their own errors to perform reliable, large-scale computations. Key Focus Areas and Research Goals : The center focuses on building quantum processors

The hub is led by prominent Caltech faculty who also hold roles at AWS: AWS Quantum Computing Lab Key Focus Areas and Research Goals The hub

: Amazon provides scholarships and internships to Caltech students and early-career scientists to foster the next generation of quantum researchers. Leadership and Academic Integration : The center focuses on building quantum processors
