If that's what you're looking for, California Institute of Technology is definitely a great choice. It's a small institute situated in Pasadena, California (1/50 size of Stanford), but has got great learning facilities and I think it has published the most paper in 2003 in USA.

P.S. Kip Thorne teaches there as well. (Richard Feynman used to... )
 
Princeton? Stanford? They have a pretty good reputation...
