Abstract
An apparatus for assembling a modular quantum device may include a cage structure defining a plurality of spaced, substantially parallel slots and a plurality of blade modules. Each blade module may be insertable into a corresponding slot of the cage structure and carries one or more functional quantum device components. The cage structure constrains the blade modules to a predetermined positional alignment during an assembly process that electrically connects the blade modules to a circuit substrate.

An apparatus for assembling a modular quantum device, comprising:
- a cage structure defining a plurality of spaced, substantially parallel slots;
- a plurality of blade modules, each blade module being insertable into a corresponding slot of the cage structure and carrying one or more functional quantum device components,
- wherein the cage structure constrains the blade modules to a predetermined positional alignment during an assembly process that electrically connects the blade modules to a circuit substrate.
A quantum device system comprising:
- a plurality of modular blade assemblies, each blade assembly carrying a distinct quantum device function;
- a cage structure that receives and mechanically aligns the blade assemblies in a fixed spatial relationship;
- and
- a circuit substrate electrically connected to the blade assemblies while the blade assemblies are retained within the cage structure.
A method of manufacturing a modular quantum device, comprising:
- independently manufacturing and testing a plurality of blade modules, each blade module providing a distinct quantum device function;
- inserting the tested blade modules into corresponding slots of a cage structure to establish a predetermined alignment;
- positioning a circuit substrate relative to the blade modules;
- and
- electrically connecting the blade modules to the circuit substrate while the cage structure maintains the predetermined alignment.
