Dilution cooler criyo-free: a unique service of science and technologies of very low temperatures

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)) under the programme Multi-regional Spain - ERDF (2014ES16RFOP002), managing authority: Subdirección General de Gestión del FEDER, de la Dirección General de Fondos Europeos del Ministerio de Hacienda.. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Zaragoza Province (NUTS ES243); Spain. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 315,000; EU co-financing EUR 157,500 (co-financing rate 50%), as stated by the source. Runs 2018-01-01 to 2021-03-31. Source: Kohesio, EU cohesion policy projects managed by national and regional authorities (not CORDIS); selected because its summary names quantum technology. Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): This proposal is oriented to purchasing a "cryo-free" 3He-4He dilution refrigerator. Its main goal is to combine the strengthening of top scientific research with an open management, which will lead to a new singular service. Due to its characteristics (low operating cost, wider experimental room, base temperature <10 mK), the equipment will significantly improve competitiveness, international leadership and the possibilities of attracting resources of high added value research lines, aimed at implementing an architecture for quantum computing, developping detectors for space missions and exploring topological excitations in magnetic materials. This refrigerator also provides a convenient platform (because of its ability to accommodate various assemblies and remain in operation almost continuously) to host experiments by external users. For this, it will be equipped with a universal experimental module and will be included in the catalog of SAI, which will be responsible for regulating the access of all users, setting access rates and carrying out maintenance. The team includes experts in Low Temperature Physics and in the development and management of instrumentation that will ensure the perfect functioning of the equipment and will provide it with unique instrumentation (on-chip magnetic spectroscopy, micro- and nano-SQUIDs, ...)
