High-density microwave interconnects for quantum computers

03May

With the increasing interest in quantum computing and the development of large-scale high qubit machines, there’s a requirement for an increasing number of microwave cables necessary for control and readout lines to the quantum processor.

These have traditionally been provided by individual coaxial cables fitted with SMA connectors, which offer limited packaging due to their 8mm hex coupling nut and also require space for the application of tooling during installation.
CryoCoax, a division of Intelliconnect, has developed high-density multiway connectors based around the SMPM interface, which not only allow many more coaxial lines in a given space but also simplify the installation and customisation within a dilution refrigerator.
