New challenges necessitate new machines: Quantum computers are highly complex machines that could give us huge advances in computing speed.<\/p>\n

Scientists still face major technical challenges with quantum computers, however. One fundamental problem with quantum bits\/qubits is kinetic energy.<\/strong> The chips must be cooled down to absolute zero. It takes elaborate and large cooling mechanisms operating for days to get a quantum chip from room temperature to its running temperature.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To ensure that all the components of a quantum computer can withstand the extreme sub-zero temperatures, specially developed measuring devices with a low-temperature option are used. Microsoft\u00ae ordered a TMA \u2013 a measuring device for thermomechanical material testing \u2013 for the analysis of the components of a quantum computer.<\/strong> The big challenge here, the temperatures during the material analyses, should reach almost the absolute zero point. The Cryo-TMA we developed achieves a temperature of -269.15 \u00b0C at 4 Kelvin, which is almost absolute zero.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

TMA (Thermomechanical Analysis)<\/strong> <\/a>is mainly used to measure the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE<\/strong><\/a>). Measurements can be made under controlled mechanical stress (DIN 51 005, ASTM D 3386, ASTM E 831, ASTM D 696, ISO 11359 \u2013 Parts 1 to 3).<\/p>

With quantum computers, physicists hope to be able to simulate all processes that occur in nature, including the formation of the universe and that of life. Our measurement technology makes a valuable contribution to helping science achieve these goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
