What this means for your lab
These awards pay for two dilution refrigerators, which cool a sample or a qubit chip to milli-Kelvin temperatures, the operating range superconducting qubits need. The first unit is already installed and running. Refrigerators of this class also support milli-Kelvin transport and low-temperature quantum-materials measurements.
