Abstract

The need for larger mK cooling platforms is being driven by the desire to host ever growing numbers of cryogenic qubits in quantum computing platforms. As part of the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center at Fermilab funded through the Department of Energy under the National Quantum Initiative, we are developing a cryogenic platform capable of reaching millikelvin temperatures in an experimental volume of 2 meters diameter by approximately 1.5 meters in height. The platform is intended to host a three-dimensional qubit architecture based on superconducting radiofrequency accelerator cavity technologies. This paper describes the baseline design of the platform, along with the expected key performance parameters.
