Engineering the unknown: building vacuum and cryogenic systems for the quantum frontier

Qubit decoherence remains the primary barrier to many practical quantum devices. This is why vacuum and cryogenic equipment scaling are key enablers to delivering useful quantum products and systems

Building quantum technologies is the definition of finicky. And there is one primary reason: the fundamental unit of information is not a bit, but a qubit. Though qubits come in many guises – trapped ions, neutral atoms, superconducting circuits, par... [6196 chars]
