Well, they will be working on the transmitter.
And, as an unmanned probe, there is no need to come back.

Laser-Propelled Nano-Space Probe to Reach Alpha Centauri in 20 Years?
“Breakthrough Starshot” intends to squeeze all the key components of a robotic probe—cameras, sensors, maneuvering thrusters and communications equipment—into tiny gram-scale “nanocraft.” These would be small enough to boost to enormous speeds using 100-gigawatt laser pulses, which would rapidly push a nanocraft to relativistic speeds.
