Quantum Design will be at Quantum Dot Day 2026, joining researchers exploring semiconductor quantum dots, solid-state defects and the technologies that turn these systems into useful sources, sensors and devices.
From photoluminescence measurements to spin control, successful experiments depend on getting the sample environment right. Visit us to discuss optical cryogenics, magnetic field control and nanoscale quantum sensing—and find the tools that fit your research.
Optical cryogenics built around your experiment
Whether you are studying individual emitters, integrating photonic devices or developing a new spectroscopy setup, we can help you explore the right combination of temperature, optical access, electrical connections and sample positioning.
Quantum Design’s OptiCool® family provides cryogen-free optical environments from 1.7 K to 350 K, with low vibration and flexible experimental access. Discover the OptiCool 7T for high-field magneto-optical measurements, OptiCool Vector for control of magnetic field orientation, and the magnet-free OptiCool Flex for experiments needing additional workspace.
Montana Instruments’ CryoAdvance™ optical cryostats combine automated cooling with configurable sample chambers and optical, DC and RF access. Talk to us about building a setup for low-temperature microscopy, quantum-device characterisation or photoluminescence studies, including compatible nanopositioning options and routes to lower temperatures.
Explore diamond-based quantum sensing
Working with NV centres or investigating nanoscale magnetism? Discover Qnami ProteusQ™, which combines scanning probe microscopy with NV magnetometry to map sample topography and local magnetic fields at nanoscale resolution.
Let’s talk about your measurement challenge
Meet our team at Quantum Dot Day to discuss your application, compare configurations and plan your next steps. We support researchers across the UK and Ireland, from initial instrument selection through installation, training and ongoing service.
What is limiting your next experiment: vibration, temperature stability, optical collection, magnetic field geometry or access to your device?
Get in touch with Dr. Luke Nicholls (QDUKI MD) to discuss your application, by email below or call (01372) 378822.
