Interferometry has long been used in radio astronomy to enable imaging of astronomical sources with angular resolutions exceeding the diffraction limit of a single aperture. In the past decade, interferometry of the CMB has been carried out with instruments such as the CBI, DASI and VSA which exploited the inherent instrumental stability and simplicity of ell-space analysis of interferometer data. The practice of interferometric polarimetry has been particularly well-developed in the radio astronomical community and DASI and CBI were able to measure the polarization of the CMB at high significance (>10sigma for CBI). In this talk, I will discuss the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI) project. The CBI has been observing temperature and polarization anisotropies in the CMB in the frequency range 26-36 GHz from the 5000m ALMA site in the altiplano of Chile. Science results from the CBI will be discussed, including the possible detection of excess small-angle anisotropy due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect, the measurement of the E-mode CMB power spectrum on sub-degree scales, and targeted observations of the SZ effect in clusters, highlighting recent (unpublished) results. I will also report the status of the ongoing CBI2 upgrade which will increase the sensitivity of the instrument on small angular scales.
