Accessible Cryogenics for Accelerating Quantum Materials Research

According to a recent survey by the Quantum Economic Development Consortium, the two biggest barriers to hiring a qualified quantum-ready workforce are 1) too few with specialized knowledge; and 2) a lack of hands-on experience. Breaking down the results further and applying findings to the realm of cryogenics, the top desired skills involve working with cryogenic components and systems. It’s an age-old problem in a new-world reality: we want to hire experienced employees, but how and where do employees gain experience in a field so specialized and crucial to the quantum information industry? How can early-career physicists get time working with quantum materials when lab time (and the equipment that lab time requires) is expensive and possibly beyond their means? Join us for a conversation with Luke Mauritsen, Montana Instruments founder and member of the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee (NQIAC) to the White House, and other company experts as they share insights into the market needs and technical challenges of serving the quantum industry. The team will discuss how CryoCore, a new streamlined cryogenic platform, was built to better equip and enable future quantum scientists – particularly for those who are new entrants into the quantum information systems world.
