Reaching absolute zero for quantum computing now much faster thanks to groundbreaking refrigerator design

A groundbreaking cooling technology could boost quantum computing and cut precious preparation time for important science experiments by weeks.

Scientists often need to generate temperatures that are close absolute zero for quantum computers and astronomy, among others. Such temperatures are known as the ‘Big Chill’ and keep the most sensitive electrical instruments free from interference such as temperature changes. However, the refrigerators used to achieve these temperatures are extremely expensive and inefficient.
