Bluefors, a Finnish quantum technology infrastructure company based in Helsinki, has developed a modular cryogenic platform that brings a new approach to cryogenic system architecture, creating a scaleable system for the operation of next-generation fault-tolerant quantum computers. The first of its kind and enabled by the Finnish company’s sophisticated cryogenic magnet technology , the platform frees quantum computing players and high-performance computing data centers to expand their infrastructure and keep pace with accelerating qubit capacity by integrating new modules as needed.
It provides a clear path for quantum computing providers and developers to expand their operations to hosting hundreds of thousands of qubits, with a unique solution for cryogenic system architecture. Essentially operating as an expandable, self-supported vacuum chamber, the Modular Cryogenic Platform helps quantum sector players flexibly scale their operations, leveraging quantum computing’s huge potential to revolutionize industries, businesses and scientific research by increasing computing capacity. The first multi-module delivery of the platform is slated for late 2026.
Quantum computing is making big leaps, emerging from primarily academic research into real-world business applications and deployment in data centers. The market is projected to grow from an estimated $1–$1,1 billion in 2025 to $28–$72 billion by 2035, according to market research firm McKinsey & Company.
Bluefors’ new solution addresses the industry’s infrastructure needs for expandable, reliable cooling power to support more qubits. Each module can integrate a vast number of wiring ports that remain independent from the cooling architecture, so wiring and quantum processing units can easily be relocated or swapped out. The platform is also designed, optimized, and integration-ready for High-Performance Computing (HPC) environments.
At the heart of Bluefors systems are its cryogen-free superconducting magnets for cryogenic measurement systems. The company develops a wide variety of solenoid and vector magnets. Several alternative configurations are possible depending on experimental requirements — for example, incorporation of field-compensated regions, increased field homogeneity, and fitting a persistent switch.
A pioneering developer of solutions for quantum cooling and infrastructure since 2008, Bluefors has delivered cooling solutions to more than 1,800 installations globally. For earlier reports, query for the company in Magnetics Magazine. For more info, see www.bluefors.com.
