The Quantum Microscope
Onnes Technologies enables the application of quantum sensors for quantum metrology applications in low temperature and low vibration level environments. With our cryogenic Vibration Isolation System cVIS, vibrations generated by the pulse tube to cooldown, can be attenuated and isolated from the quantum sensor. And, with our arQtika cryogenic nanopositioning, based on cryo-walking technology, sensor and sample can be moved with respect to each other while preserving the low temperature and low vibration levels at all times.
arQtika LCW X1
Piezo-based cryogenic nanopositioner for low temperature environments
We offer a cryogenic nanopositioner that is extremely reliable and dissipates extraordinary little heat. Therefore arQtika enables thermal stability during long range, accurate positioning and as such eliminates the need for additional piezo scanner components.
cVIS
In-situ, passive, cryogenic Vibration Isolation System
cVIS is an in-situ solution for any closed-cycle dilution refrigerator to attenuate mechanical vibrations generated by the pulse tube. cVIS enables a low vibration level environment inside your cryostat.
QM-as-a-service FIELD LAB
Testbed for proof-of-concept of sensing techniques and explorations for use cases.
Our field lab is aimed to help researchers obtain preliminary data for their funding applications, by making available a full experimental setup and do first proof-of-concepts together. With the expertise of the field lab, we invite businesses to explore the relevancy of Quantum Metrology for their products and services.
The next step in cryo-positioning
The benefits of CRYO-WALKING technology
Our cryo-walking technology is a novel alternative to the conventional slip-stick technique. Instead of relying on the difference of static and dynamic friction, cryo-walking is based on making and breaking mechanical connection. This allows to inherently solve a lot of the cryogenic nanopositioning limitations encountered in low temperature physics.
Applications
Low Temperature Microscopy
We offer a nanopositioner that is extremely reliable and dissipates extraordinarily little heat. Our unique drive technology has other advantages, such as high drivingQuantum Optics
Aligning optical fibers and objectives at Kelvin temperatures for Quantum Optics experiments often require low drift and reliable position sensing. Well controlled positioning with an integrated capacitance-based sensor open the path towards complete automation of experiments.CDMS Detectors
Low Temperature Detectors are used for in-space applications. The robust and stiff design of arQtika offer a platform for detector calibration that is launchable into space.Meet the team
