The testing company conducted separate microwave transmission tests\nat 20 millikelvin in its own cryogenic system, using its own instruments,\nreference cables and calibration standards. The results confirm the\ninterconnect's microwave performance at an operating temperature of\nsuperconducting quantum processors. On the strength of these results, QTREX\nand the testing company are finalizing a binding definitive agreement.\n\nKey results:\n* Channel-to-channel isolation better than 100 dB across the 4 to 8 GHz qubit\nband, between adjacent channels on a 0.34 millimeter pitch over a 15\ncentimeter run. No crosstalk was detected above the instrument's noise floor\nin any tested channel pair, adjacent or not. This exceeds the published 40 dB\nchannel to channel crosstalk specification of leading flexible cryogenic\ncabling by more than 60 dB.\n* Channel-to-channel phase matching at 20 millikelvin. Cryogenic testing\nconfirmed that channels formed together in a single monolithic AME body remain\nphase matched, supporting precise coordination of microwave signals for qubit\ncontrol and readout.\n* Impedance held constant along the entire line, with reflections from the\nline itself below 55 dB from 2 to 15 GHz, a uniformity previously seen only in\nmachined coaxial cable.\n* Insertion loss at 20 millikelvin of approximately 1 dB at 1 GHz and 2 dB at\n6 GHz, including connectors. Cooling from room temperature reduced insertion\nloss, expressed in dB, by approximately a factor of three.\n* Performance unchanged across repeated cooldowns. The channels measured at 20\nmillikelvin returned the same results in a second cooldown after warming to\nroom temperature.\n* RF performance unchanged under significant bending and after vacuum\nexposure, with X-ray and optical inspection showing no cracks, delaminations\nor subsurface defects.\nEvery qubit needs several microwave lines running down to 20 millikelvin.\nToday's thousand qubit machines already carry thousands of hand-assembled\ncoaxial cables, and the million qubit machines the industry is building toward\ncannot be wired that way. Dense, monolithic interconnect that isolates every\nchannel, holds the channels in phase with one another and performs at 20\nmillikelvin is the missing piece. QTREX's additively manufactured interconnect\ndelivers it.\n\nQTREX's architecture places fully shielded channels about a third of a\nmillimeter apart, close to 30 channels per centimeter of width, with every\nshield wall shared between neighboring channels. Radio frequency current flows\nwithin about a micron of a conductor's surface, while every micron of metal\nconducts heat, so the thin shared walls carry the signal without the excess\nmetal that carries heat. By design, the interconnect conducts about half the\nheat of an equivalent coaxial cable into the cooling stages, and less than the\npublished figures of leading flexible cryogenic cabling at the millikelvin\nstages, where cooling power is scarcest.\n\n\"The coldest, most unforgiving environment in computing. One of the most\nexacting teams in our industry. Their instruments, their cryogenic system,\ntheir reference cables. That is the test, and these are the results,\" said\nDagi Ben-Noon, Chief Executive Officer of QTREX Quantum. \"We view 60 decibels\nmore isolation than the leading flexible cabling on the market as not an\nimprovement but a different category, and it is what a million qubit machine\nwill require.\"\n\nQTREX and the testing company are finalizing a binding definitive agreement.\nThe Company expects to disclose the testing company’s full name, its field\nof activity and the agreement in full within weeks.
