AI and Quantum Computing

Caltech scientists and engineers are working at the frontiers of advanced computing technologies, where they have established and continue to advance the development of brain-like artificial intelligence systems that process information, learn, adapt, and identify patterns in much the way humans do.

In recent years, artificial intelligence has become increasingly powerful, propelling discovery across scientific fields and enabling researchers to delve into problems previously too complex to solve, including efforts funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and others to make the control systems that operate AI-based robots and drones safer and less error prone. Outside of science, artificial intelligence is built into devices all around us, and billions of people across the globe rely on it every day.

At Caltech, scientists and scholars are working at the leading edge of AI research, expanding the boundaries of its capabilities and exploring its impacts on society.

Having played a fundamental role in the development of artificial neural networks, very-large-scale integration, quantum computing, and other advances in information science and technology, Caltech continues to leverage its computational expertise across disciplines, redefining the ways scientists and policymakers alike approach problems in fields ranging from economics to bioengineering.
