How Quantum Computers Get Cold: The Multi-Stage Descent to Millikelvin
Quantum computers require extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero, to prevent decoherence and maintain qubit stability. Achieving these millikelvin temperatures involves a multi-stage cooling process, starting with pulse tube cryocoolers and culminating with dilution refrigerators.
