Quantum technologies and their commercial exploitation are one of the most important development areas for the next decades. While significant progress has been made in the research of quantum effects, their adoption and scaling up towards commercial applications is hindered by the complexity of current cryogenic cooling solutions. To solve this problem Delft Circuits and kiutra have teamed up for the SPROUT project to build an easy-to-use multi-channel cooling platform that facilitates the development and operation of quantum hardware.

The goal of this project is to provide a fully integrated, turnkey cooling platform as the go-to solution for quick and reliable testing of components or building multi-node quantum networks – it therefore combines a reliable, low maintenance cooling technology with integrated electronics for quantum experiments.
