Bluefors Delivers 18 State-of-the-Art Quantum Cooling Systems to Power AIST’s G-QuAT Center
Bluefors is proud to announce the successful delivery and installation of 18 cutting-edge cryogenic systems for the Global Research and Development Center for Business by Quantum-AI Technology (G-QuAT) at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). This milestone achievement for the transformational technology is a bold leap toward the quantum future, making real-world, large-scale quantum computing accessible today.
The opening of the new G-QuAT center in Tsukuba, Japan on May 18, 2025, was a momentous occasion, highlighting AIST’s commitment to pioneering research and development in quantum computing. Bluefors has taken a crucial role in this achievement by delivering their groundbreaking KIDE Cryogenic Platform – the world’s most powerful commercially-available cooling system for quantum computing, fully-equipped with cryogenic measurement infrastructure to support a 1000+ qubit quantum computer. This world-leading platform offers the unparalleled power and performance needed to meet the rigorous demands of large-scale quantum computing research and development.
Including the KIDE Cryogenic Platform, Bluefors delivered 18 fully-wired, high-performance cryogenic measurement systems to the G-QuAT center. These powerful systems were meticulously installed in only 6 weeks, equipping the center with fully operational systems to conduct groundbreaking research and development in quantum technology. The successful, rapid installation is a testament to Bluefors’ industrial capabilities and industry-leading expertise, while the number of systems installed showcases the company’s globally acknowledged reputation for reliability, as well as its ability to easily deliver systems at scale.
“We are thrilled to have partnered with AIST in this significant endeavor,” said Rob Blaauwgeers, Bluefors’ Interim CEO and Co-founder. “The delivery and installation of 18 cryogenic systems at the G-QuAT center is a great example of our ability to deliver premium quantum computing technology on an unparalleled industrial scale. These systems will play a pivotal role in the center’s research and development efforts, driving innovation and progress, long into the future.”
The G-QuAT center at AIST is dedicated to developing advanced convergence computational technology by leveraging both quantum and classical computing technologies. The center aims to create real-world use cases for quantum computing, standardize evaluation methods for high-performance materials, and advance quantum device development to address critical economic and social challenges through quantum technology.
Bluefors’ contribution to the G-QuAT center reflects the company’s history and commitment to excellence and innovation in cryogenic technology. The successful installation of these cryogenic systems consolidates the ongoing partnership between Bluefors and AIST, and demonstrates Bluefors’ ability to deliver the quantum future, today.
