Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to systems and methods for providing temperature stabilization of cryogenic setups with radiative load.
Claims20
A quantum information processing (QIP) system comprising:
- a cryostat comprising a cryocooler, a housing that defines a cooled volume, and one or more plates coupled to the cryocooler, wherein the one or more plates are disposed within the housing;
- a component having a coated surface thereon and coupled to the one or more plates, such that the component is configured to be cooled by the one or more plates;
- and
- a radiative heat source configured to provide thermal radiation to heat the coated surface of the component.

A method for configuring a quantum information processing (QIP) system comprising:
- providing a cryostat comprising a cryocooler a housing defining a cooled volume, and one or more plates coupled to the cryocooler, wherein the one or more plates are disposed within the housing;
- coating a surface of a component to be heated;
- positioning the component within the cooled volume;
- coupling the component to the one or more plates configured to cool the component;
- and
- orienting a radiative heat source relative to the cryostat so that the radiative heat source can provide thermal radiation to the coated surface to heat the coated surface.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a cooled volume;
- a component positioned in the cooled volume, wherein a surface of the component is coated with a coating comprising one or more of gold, copper, aluminum, silver, a dielectric material, and combinations thereof;
- a thermal radiation source positioned outside of the cooled volume and configured to provide thermal radiation to the coated surface to heat the coated surface;
- a temperature sensor configured to provide information indicative of a temperature of the component;
- and
- a controller configured to control the radiative heat source to maintain, based on the information provided by the temperature sensor, the temperature of the component within a predefined threshold.
