Centralised cold generation

One cold-generation infrastructure. A centralised cryogenic plant produces cooling power at the source, serving multiple QPU platforms.

One source. Shared cooling power.

Cryogenic distribution network

Cooling power is transferred efficiently to each QPU platform through a shared network, with low thermal losses, flow management, hydraulic balancing and thermal isolation.

A connected, balanced network.

Multiple QPU platforms

Each QPU retains its dedicated thermal, electrical / RF and magnetic environment, along with control and readout electronics.

Dedicated environments. More capacity.

DESIGNING THE CONNECTIONS

Shared infrastructure.
Precisely engineered.

Centralisation brings a new set of engineering priorities.
Explore what makes the architecture work.

Cryogenic distribution

Deliver cooling power from the central plant to multiple platforms through a shared cryogenic network.

Thermal losses

Limit heat ingress along the distribution network to preserve available cooling power.

Flow management

Balance flows across branches as platform requirements and the number of QPUs change.

Thermal interfaces

Manage the thermal connections between the shared network and each dedicated QPU environment.

Isolation

Maintain the thermal, electrical and magnetic isolation needed by each platform.

Redundancy & availability

Plan for operational availability and maintenance within a shared infrastructure.

Control & automation

Coordinate plant operation, distribution and platform requirements with dedicated controls.

ONE INFRASTRUCTURE. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Add QPU capacity.
Not another cryogenic plant.

Expand without necessarily replicating the complete cryogenic
generation infrastructure for every platform.

Modular

Scalable
