FormFactor Cryogenic and Quantum Solutions

If you haven't had the chance to check out the impressive lineup at the new Global Research and Development Center for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT) facility at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tsukuba, Japan, make sure to take a look at the FormFactor Cryogenic and Quantum Solutions dilution refrigerators showcasing the 600 uW model! Big thanks to Branton Toback, Alex K., and Cathy Lo for installing the systems and helping the customer get up and running!

Standing Up Starts with Us! At FormFactor, we believe allyship is more than a moment—it’s a mindset. This Pride Month, our employees stepped up to share their allyship pledges: personal commitments to supporting the LGBTQ2S+ community, creating safe spaces, and advocating for belonging in the workplace. Throughout June, we've been celebrating Pride with powerful moments including a thought-provoking Fireside Chat and the addition of gender-neutral restrooms at our sites. Allyship doesn’t end in June. Let’s keep showing up, speaking up, and standing up—for each other, always. 

Only 1 week left to register — webinar on June 11! Discover how FormFactor’s LF600 dilution refrigerator, combined with Delft Circuits’ Cri/oFlex® cabling, addresses a key bottleneck in quantum scaling: coaxial cabling limitations inside dilution refrigerators. Reduce heat load, save space, and scale up qubits — all without compromising performance. Don’t miss out — secure your spot today: https://lnkd.in/gp4mdU3Z

WEBINAR! As quantum computing systems advance toward higher qubit counts, significant challenges emerge in the cryogenic infrastructure required to operate these systems. Key Roadblocks are: Physical Space Constraints: As qubit counts increase, the volume of coaxial cables required quickly overwhelms the available space within dilution refrigerators. This physical limitation becomes increasingly problematic as quantum systems scale up, creating space management challenges that impact system design and operation. Thermal Management Issues: The excessive heat load generated by conventional cryogenic cabling exceeds the dilution refrigerator's cooling capacity. This thermal bottleneck is particularly critical because maintaining ultra-low temperatures is essential for quantum coherence and system operation. Installation and Operational Difficulties: The scaling of cryogenic cabling presents significant installation difficulties. These practical challenges impact both the initial setup and ongoing maintenance of quantum computing systems. These physical and thermal bottlenecks collectively serve as a primary barrier to achieving higher qubit numbers within standard footprints and budgets. The convergence of space constraints, thermal management issues, and installation difficulties creates a compound problem that limits the scalability of current quantum computing architectures, highlighting the need for innovative solutions in cryogenic cable design and implementation.

Big thanks to Martin Huber at University of Colorado Denver for introducing me to the outstanding Quantum Information Technology Certificate program's students and touring me around the lab. The FormFactor Inc. quantum cryogenics product line will help support these student's learning about vacuum, cryogenics, thermal transfer and more. Elevate Quantum continues to support these local Colorado ecosystem efforts to bolster the quantum workforce - if you're interested in developing skills that are marketable/useful in the quantum market, make sure to check out Denver and the surrounding ecosystem!

Scaling quantum computing is more than just adding qubits — it means tackling physical and thermal limits inside dilution refrigerators. Traditional coaxial cabling quickly fills up available space and adds heat load, limiting how many qubits you can test within typical lab setups. Our upcoming joint webinar with Delft Circuits will dive into how the Cri/oFlex® flexible stripline cabling inside the FormFactor LF-600 helps overcome these challenges — enabling up to 100 qubits in a lab-scale system by drastically reducing cable volume and heat load. 👉 Learn more and register for June 11, 9 AM PDT here: https://lnkd.in/g6HUCTYw

I just wrapped up a fantastic visit to FormFactor Cryogenic and Quantum Solutions and I’m still thinking about the possibilities. Several of us from the Innovation Center and the Career Elevation & Technology Center had the chance to tour their facility and learn more about the real-world applications of quantum-related testing and advanced manufacturing. This wasn’t just a field trip. It was an intentional exploration of how we might better prepare our students for emerging careers most people haven’t even heard of yet—but will soon depend on. FormFactor is doing cutting-edge work in the quantum space, and its team clearly understands the urgency and opportunity that lie ahead. Special thanks to Jack DeGrave , @Jason West, and @Erin Delaney for opening your doors to us and giving us an inside look at a future most people don’t see coming. And to Lynn Eckart—thank you for always keeping your radar up. Your drive to connect students with meaningful partnerships is what makes efforts like this happen. What would building a pipeline of students with hands-on experience in the tools and technologies that drive quantum science, cryogenics, wafer testing, and more look like? We’re starting to find out. Learn more about FormFactor’s work: www.formfactor.com The future is coming fast—and we’re working hard to make sure our students are ready.
