Bluefors

“Our typical cooldowns can last somewhere around one to two years. So that’s where it becomes also important to be able to have a dilution refrigerator that can reliably maintain that cooling power; that can maintain those temperatures for a long enough time to perform these experiments.”

“When I was a graduate student, I had to come in every 40 hours throughout Graduate School and do a helium transfer. Very tedious. My students are completely free of this because, you know, it’s like you close up the system, you push a button, and it essentially cools down by itself and needs almost no maintenance.”

“When we got the Bluefors system, it was a total game changer. The end-user experience is just worlds away from what we used to deal with. I actually joked it might put me out of a job because it was push-button simple—you click, and it cools.”

“Overall, having Bluefors and Cryomech systems at labs across the world enables us to share information, share knowledge, and develop shared hardware – making our operations easier in the field.”

“Our commercial scale quantum computer fits into one dilution fridge. This is exceptional science – leading to superior economics of the commercial system – that requires the very best technology in cryogenic technology. This is why we partner with Bluefors”

“Once the fridge is cold, our experiment times vary from few weeks to few months. I think the longest running experiment we had was about one year, where we just kept running experiments, one after another. We’ve been really enjoying working with Bluefors and our system so far has been working reliably without issues for many years.”
