QFilter-II is your compact solution for advanced multi-stage low-pass filtering. It’s specifically designed to reject noise and maintain millikelvin electron temperatures across 24 signal lines. This makes it an ideal fit for your quantum electronics devices and other sensitive cryogenic circuits. Originating from extensive research at Harvard University and the University of Copenhagen, QFilter is now a trusted tool in over 100 research groups worldwide.
Advanced Filtering and Thermalization Below 1 Kelvin
At millikelvin temperatures, ensuring cold electrons in signal lines is a challenge. QFilter-II addresses this by cooling electrons and filtering out electrical noise ranging from about 65 kHz to tens of GHz. Constructed from gold-coated high-conductivity copper and mountable on your cryostat’s mixing chamber plate, it is a key component for any cryogenic setup.
24 Line Filter Configuration with Optimal Performance
Our standard configuration offers two filtering banks (low-frequency and radio frequency) with 25-pin micro-D connectors. These banks are connected in series using a shielded jumper cable. The compact, non-magnetic design allows for direct mounting on the mixing chamber plate, compatible with most fridge manufacturers such as Bluefors fridges and the Oxford Instrument Proteox shown below.
Well-Engineered Filtering Banks for Low Temperatures and High Signal Integrity
QFilter-II features two low-pass filtering banks in series: a low-frequency (65 kHz) filter with RC circuits and a high-frequency (RF, 225 MHz) filter with LC circuits. Each bank is crafted with several individually shielded filter stages. Signal lines support 150V voltages (below 4 Kelvin, max. 6mA for RC, 10mA for RF) and provide >10GΩ isolation below 4K to ground and other lines. Individual low-frequency filter lines can be shortened upon request, allowing for higher signal currents e.g. used for current biasing flux-lines.
Scalability for High Channel Demands
For systems requiring more than 24 lines, QFilters can be efficiently stacked (top image) saving space on the mixing chamber plate or connected in series (bottom image) removing the need for jumper cables. This flexibility allows for configurations like dual RC or dual RF filters, catering to diverse setup requirements.

Disentangling Losses in Tantalum Superconducting Circuits
“QM’s chip packaging solutions are exquisite pieces of engineering that have enhanced our resonator Q-factors to as much as 200 million. It is clearly a very highly engineered product that I’m sure will be widely adopted in the field.”

“We were extremely surprised by theflexibility that OPX offers and by howmuch easier it makes ourexperiments. Moreover, OPX providesextreme speed-ups. No morefrustration due to long waiting timesfor unwanted results!”

”QM's control electronics provide the best real-time features along with an intuitive and well-documented programming interface. At TII, we successfully controlled a 25-q chip and conducted multiplexed characterization of all qubits using QM’s OPX and Octave. What we appreciate most, however, is the QM’s unwavering support and commitment to helping us achieve our targets, even going so far as to send some of their best scientists when needed.”

Substantially reducing coding complexity and time to results
“OPX has been a powerful enabler in our lab, helping us quickly characterize the performance of our recently discovered qubits.
The hardware removes time wasted in uploading and waiting during pulse programming.
QUA has substantially reduced the complexity of writing quantum protocols, allowing us to code dynamical decoupling and RB sequences in just a few lines. It remarkably saves our time in optimizing the processes and visualizing the results, allowing us to focus more on understanding the physics of our new qubits.” See case study >>

“The OPX’s fast feedback and unique real-time processing capabilities were critical for our experiment.
Combining these with the OPX’s intuitive programming and QM’s state-of-the-art cryogenic electronics allowed us to do something that we have dreamt of doing for years.”

The QOP dramatically expedites research
“We are very pleased with the Quantum Orchestration Platform (QOP) control solution. It’s remarkably easy to use, reliable, and flexible, supporting our advanced quantum research needs. The QOP dramatically expedites our research. The Quantum Machines customer success team has been instrumental in addressing all our needs to help us to maximize the full potential of the solution. We already use two systems and strongly recommend it.”

Revolutionizing spin qubit control, all in one box
“The quantum orchestration platform (QOP) platform completely changed the way we control semiconductor quantum dot spin qubits. Key qubit control schemes we previously developed individually using time-consuming hardware description languages are now easily implemented in one box.”
“Replacing three devices with one synchronized, orchestrated machine tremendously simplified lab workflow. Now our pulse sequences run in a fraction of the time of any other device combo. Plus, we can “talk” to the FPGA in human-speak, to run real-time calculations that were too complicated before! Along with the yoga-level.”

This system will revolutionize our space
“The first time I was introduced to Quantum Machines, It surprised me how people were getting so excited about it. Only later did I realize, it was like explaining the value of a Laser before it existed, and all you knew are light bulbs. Today I truly believe that these systems will revolutionize our space.”
