Designed by QDevil, now part of Quantum Machines, QCage are sample holder systems for microwave resonator-based quantum devices. Enclosing the chip in an all-surrounding cavity with coaxial transmission lines, QCage is ideal for operating tens of qubits.

QCage.24

Compact solution for versatile and flexible microwave measurements.

QCage.64

Upscaled solution for operating quantum processors with up to 30 qubits.

Magnetic Shielding

Magnetic shielding is available for cold finger mounting of both QCage.24 and QCage.64 directly to the cryogenic interface plate with a connection flange for fridge wiring.

State-of-the-Art Performance

QCage.24 and QCage.64 feature the same sample holder concept that encloses the chip in an all-surrounding microwave cavity. The carefully-engineered design is optimized for both superior qubit performance and a seamless lab workflow – from fabrication through wire bonding and device prescreening, including stack quantum computer integration.

Key Features
