Quantum training

From theory to practical training

The missing link in quantum education

Record growth and breakthrough advances in quantum technologies are driving increasing demand for a skilled quantum workforce. Universities are expanding quantum curricula, but hands-on experimental training often lags behind theory. To prepare new researchers, institutions need to provide hands-on access to low-temperature technologies that support modern quantum education.

Yet traditional cryogenic systems are complex, bulky, and designed for expert research environments. They require specialized training, significant infrastructure, and careful supervision, making them difficult to integrate into structured teaching labs or student-led experiments.

Hands-on cryogenics without the complexity

Rapid cooldown and simple operation

The L-Type Rapid is designed to remove the operational barriers that traditionally limit access to cryogenic experiments. Its fully automatic operation significantly reduces the complexity typically associated with cryogenic measurements, making it possible for students to operate the system independently, without constant expert supervision. With its record fast cooldown of less than 4 hours to millikelvin temperatures, students can prepare, run, and complete a real quantum experiment within a single day in the lab.

Flexible puck system for teaching and research

At the core of the L-Type Rapid is its puck-based sample loader. Experiments are mounted on pucks that can be swapped quickly, allowing switching between different teaching content from day to day. This approach makes the system exceptionally flexible: it can serve as a teaching instrument during scheduled courses and transition seamlessly into a research instrument outside of teaching hours. By combining simplicity with research-grade measurement capability, the L-Type Rapid becomes an efficient shared resource for both education and active research environments.

A day in a modern quantum training lab

With the L-Type Rapid, low-temperature experiments fit naturally into a structured teaching schedule. What once required days of preparation and expert supervision can now be integrated into a single lab session.

In the morning, students prepare the experiment on the puck and initiate the automated cooldown.

The cooldown time can be used to teach the theoretical foundations and experimental techniques required for the experiment.

After lunch, measurement scripts and electronics are prepared, and students perform hands-on experiments collecting and analyzing real low-temperature data before the day concludes.

The result is a complete experimental cycle within one day: preparation, theory, measurement, and interpretation all carried out by students themselves.

Timetable of one lab day: 9 am sample preparation, 10 am lecture, 12 pm lunch break, 1 pm script preparation, 2 pm measurement, 5 pm finish.
