Formfactor Quantum Solutions offer Cryogenic Chip-scale Probe Stations that tackle problems like long turnaround times, high noise, and low signal capabilities providing accurate measurements at cryogenic temperatures.
The Kilimanjaro series of probe stations provide fully isolated experiment space for true 4K temperatures during probing, cryogenic positioners to provide large travel ranges without warming up the device, integrated helium pot for high temperature stability of the device under test, fully dry cryogen-free cooler eliminates the need for expensive helium circulation systems and a rapid cool liquid nitrogen option for faster cool down times
The IQ1000 is a new scanning SQUID¹ microscope used to study the dynamics of trapped magnetic flux (magnetic vortices) in superconducting circuits which can negatively impact circuit operation. This microscope enables superconducting device design teams to image magnetic vortices in devices cooled through the superconducting transition temperature in controlled magnetic fields.

When you need to extend the frequency range of your control and readout system Holzworth offer a range of multi-channel frequency synthesizer to be used in combination with an Arbitrary waveform generator/transceiver and IF Mixer, or IQ Modulator. High output power, excellent phase noise and industry leading spectral purity ensures that your control and readout pulse have the highest possible fidelity.
The HSY Series is a YIG based architecture also enhances spectral purity performance coupled with a highly accurate dynamic range of up to +20dBm and down to -110dBm. The HSX utilizes a broadband PLL based frequency sources that offer excellent noise and spectral purity performance coupled with a highly accurate dynamic range. Both families have a 1U high form factor offers 1, 2, 3 or 4 channel configurations.
The HS9000 Series Multi-Channel Synthesizers, allowing the user to specify anywhere from 1 to 8 independent channels (per 1U chassis) with any combination of frequencies spanning from 250kHz to 6.7GHz.
