Quantum computing

Minimal temperatures, maximum benefits

Air Liquide, a pioneer in ultra-low temperatures, ventured even further into the cold with the 2020 acquisition of CryoConcept, a company specialized in extreme cryogenics. They have developed a dilution refrigeration solution that approaches absolute zero (-273,14 °C), temperatures crucial for ground-breaking scientific research into quantum computing that promises to accelerate the search for new drugs, the discovery of new materials and even cyberdefense.
