Bluefors Podcast

Welcome to Bluefors Podcast, where we talk about cryogenics, quantum technology, scientific research and the people working in these fields.​

We have three series, each with its own focus:​

  • Behind the Cold introduces Blueforsians beyond their job titles, from career stories to everyday life at Bluefors.​
  • Cool Insights takes a closer look at cryogenics, quantum technology, science and engineering, including how technologies work, new developments, innovations and industry trends.​
  • Beyond Absolute Zero features conversations with researchers and industry experts about theirresearch, how Bluefors cryogenic technology supports scientific experiments, and what could comenext in quantum science and technology.​

How Dilution Refrigerators Make Quantum Applications Possible

Why do many quantum applications need temperatures so close to absolute zero?

In the first episode of Cool Insights, we talk with Dr. Tomi Elovaara, Director, Systems & Options at Bluefors, about dilution refrigerators and their role in quantum computing and scientific research.

Tomi discusses why extremely low temperatures are important for quantum technologies and what it takes to keep a system cold during experiments. The conversation also covers cooling power, quantum I/O, and how the different parts of a cryogenic measurement system work together.

As quantum systems grow, the infrastructure supporting them needs to grow ahead of them. Tomi shares how dilution refrigerators have changed over the years, the challenges of scaling these systems and what researchers and quantum companies need from them today.

Cool Insights is a series from Bluefors Podcast where we take a closer look at cryogenics, quantum technology, and the science, innovation and engineering behind Bluefors technologies. Through conversations with our Bluefors experts, we discuss how technologies work, the latest developments, innovations and industry trends, and what they mean for scientific research and quantum applications.​

Women In Quantum

There isn’t just one way into quantum.​

In the first episode of Behind the Cold, we sit down with three Blueforsians, Dr. Sukriti Singh, Technical Account Manager; Dr. Vera Hansper, Technical Training Lead; and Kirsty Happonen, Manager, Market Access, to talk about their different career paths and experiences working in quantum technology.​

From moving out of academic research to changing careers and applying skills from other industries, they share how they found their way to Bluefors and what their roles involve today.​

They also discuss their experiences as women in scientific and technical fields, representation, mentorship and why working in quantum doesn’t always require the background people might expect.​

Behind the Cold is a series from Bluefors Podcast, where we get to know Blueforsians beyond their job titles. From career stories to everyday life at Bluefors, they share their experiences and what it’s like to contribute to the development of cryogenic measurement systems used in scientific research and a wide range of quantum applications.​
