Linde and Bluefors to develop cryogenic hardware for quantum computing

This week, the Anglo-German-American industrial gas and chemicals maker Linde announced a new partnership with Finnish refrigeration technology maker Bluefors to develop and scale a product for quantum computing cryogenics. So could this rarefied segment of the refrigeration technologies sector become the next version of the still-red-hot investment market for cold-storage logistics?
According to an announcement from the two companies this week, Linde will bring to bear its experience as the world leader in large cryogenic installations, combining with Bluefors’ ultra-low temperature interface, which is needed for quantum computing. Together, the companies say, their combined approach will ensure cryogenics are ready for the “next steps” in large-scale quantum computing, in terms of cooling power, efficiency and robustness.
