Cryogenic measurement systems specialist Bluefors has expanded its Syracuse, New York, facility by nearly 45% and will now manufacture dilution refrigerators at the location, marking a first for the company in the US.
The Syracuse site was originally constructed in 2020, but the expansion will allow the company to further push the boundaries when it comes to cryogenics.
Quantum technology needs cryogenic systems, such as dilution refrigerators and cryocoolers, to develop applications like quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum sensing.
Quantum computers require cryogenic systems, as quantum chips need temperatures as low as 10 millikelvin (near absolute zero, or -459.67°F, -273.15°C) to perform.
