Instrumentation for Quantum Science and Technology Applications
The landscape of quantum technology commercialisation and industrial advancement in the UK, where approximately half of all quantum businesses in Europe call home, is rapidly expanding.
It is now 100 years since the initial development of quantum mechanics. Quantum Design UK offers systems, solutions, and strategic initiatives that position our company at the forefront of the quantum revolution. We are confident that our suite of cryogenic instrumentation represents the ideal solution for advancing research into new materials and driving innovation, particularly in optical quantum computing and QUBIT technology.

Quantum Design OptiCool Cryostat
Semiconductor Cleanroom Tool
The OptiCool optical cryostat is a cryogen-free system with automated software to control temperature and magnetic field. At the push of a button you can change your sample temperature from 1.7 K to 350 K, with or without an applied magnetic field. A generous 89 mm diameter by 84 mm tall sample volume provides exciting possibilities in experiment design.

Case Study – AFM Built Inside OptiCool for First Time
This AFM image was taken inside an OptiCool at 200 K and 6.6 T. The AFM is part of the s-SNOM built by Mengkun Liu and his research group at Stony Brook University, New York. This image demonstrates the low noise and low acceleration environment inside the OptiCool.
“We were looking for a closed-cycle magneto-optical cryostat that is capable of performing atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning optical near-field microscopy (s-SNOM) in high magnetic field. OptiCool proved to be the system with the best stability which provides sub-nm vibrations for cyrogenic scanning probe measurements while still offering excessive access to external light. This brings us infinitely new possibilities for our research. Our lab now hosts two OptiCool systems (as of 2022)- one for infrared magneto-SNOM and one for terahertz magneto-SNOM.”
