The Future is Bright

We envision—and create—technologies that improve our society in inclusive, equitable and privacy-preserving ways. Having launched ambitious companies and research centers in quantum computing and edge computing, we aren’t afraid to swing for the fences. We aim to equip our students with the skills and knowledge to be leaders in forward-thinking fields— people who recognize the critical role emerging technologies will play in shaping the world.
