Cryogenics for quantum systems

Cryogenics plays a crucial role in the development and operation of quantum systems, where ultra-low temperatures are necessary to maintain quantum coherence and minimize decoherence mechanisms. This talk will explore key aspects of cryogenics and input/output cabling for quantum technologies, with a focus on vibration, radiation, and thermal loading. We will discuss the importance of effective shielding, system isolation, and often overlooked engineering considerations required for optimal system performance. Additionally, the general principles and workings of cryogenic systems designed for quantum applications will be presented, highlighting the technical challenges and solutions that enable advancements and industrial scaling in the field.
