May 27, 2024 -- The first Bluefors systems with a generation 2 Gas Handling Systems have been installed at the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen. These XLDsl systems will be used by the Superconducting Quantum Information Devices Lab to support the group’s work developing state-of-the-art superconducting circuits and qubits to explore quantum information physics. The Gas Handling System is a key component of the dilution refrigerator measurement system, managing helium gas circulation throughout the system.

The new XLDsl systems installed at the Niels Bohr Institute were the first ones shipped to feature this next generation system. The new systems will be used in the Superconducting Quantum Information Devices Lab headed by Morten Kjaergaard, Associate Professor of Quantum Information Physics, and principal investigator.

“Quantum devices have reached a level of maturity where we can study both the physics of the device itself, but also the physics of the quantum information that can be stored in such devices. This era of quantum information physics has already brought with it an enormous amount of new insight from both academic and industrial researchers,” Morten Kjaergaard explains.

Copenhagen has become one of the key quantum ecosystems in the world. With a rich network of organizations supporting the development of the field, and key research institutions like the Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen, the city is at the forefront of quantum technology.

“Bluefors and University of Copenhagen have an opportunity to work together to support the rapidly growing quantum ecosystem in and around Copenhagen, supported by a number of large governmental and foundation-based investments in quantum technology,” Kjaergaard continues. We are proud to have our first Gen. 2 systems in operation at University of Copenhagen and wish the Superconducting Quantum Information Devices Lab success with their experiments conducted using the new systems.
