Optical Qubits

Harnessing the photon as a quantum information carrier, optical quantum computers rely on ultra stable experimental conditions at low temperature.

ARS’ Ultra-Low Vibration Cryostats are optimized for optical qubit testing due to:

  • Ultimate Sample Stability, isolating cryocooler vibrations and mechanical drift to the nanometer scale.

  • Endlessly Configurable Sample Chamber, featuring multiple large windows, low working distance, in-vacuum objectives, and sample motion.

  • Superior Cryogenics, building on over 30 years of cryostat development.



Superconducting Qubits

When cooled to a sufficiently low temperature, materials in superconducting quantum computers such as Niobium reach a state of zero electrical resistance.

To meet these temperature needs, ARS designs and builds cryogenic probe stations suited for rapid characterization with the following advantages:

  • Fast vacuum, cooldown and warmup, completing a full sample exchange of a full 4” wafer in as little as 130 minutes.

  • Advanced Probe Thermalization, allowing <5K sample temperatures with four probes in contact

  • Unmatched build quality, made of fully-welded stainless-steel vacuum chambers and house-built micromanipulators.


Trapped Ion Qubits

Manipulating the electron states of individual atoms requires a cold, stable environment in a pristine vacuum.

ARS offers a wide range of suitable UHV cryostats, featuring:

  • True Ultra-High Vacuum Chambers, including all welded stainless-steel connections, and metal seals rated to 1e-12 mbar.

  • Ultra-Low Vibrations, minimizing coldhead vibrations below 5 nm, peak-to-peak.

  • High cooling power, efficiently overcoming high heat loads of demanding applications.


Quantum Control Electronics (Cryo-CMOS)

Developing electronics to control qubits often involves repeated iteration and testing.

Scale-up faster with our cryogenic electrical characterization platforms, specialized for:

  • Rapid Cooldown, reaching < 3.0K in as short as 75 minutes.

  • Large, customizable breadboards, allowing numerous samples to be mounted flexibly.

  • Numerous measurement wires, ranging from low-heat load DC lines to high frequency RF cables..


Spin Qubits

Semiconductor quantum dots can be controlled by magnetic fields in cryogenic, low-noise environments.

Our cryogenic probe stations and cryostats are equipped with:

  • Strong magnetic fields, available up to 6T within the sample chamber.

  • Low-noise, biasable sample plates, isolated with coaxial or triaxial shielding.
