Measurement as a Service

One of the hurdles companies and research groups face when entering the quantum technology field is the significant investment needed to set up their own facilities. Building the necessary infrastructure takes time, and there is a persistent shortage of experienced staff. To address these challenges, kiutra offers a comprehensive cryogenic measurement service for the characterization of physical properties for customer devices or samples at kelvin and millikelvin temperatures. This service is targeted towards companies and research groups entering the quantum technology field with limited measurement capabilities or which have a measurement demand that exceeds the capacity or capabilities of their own facilities. Within this measurement service, kiutra guides the customer through the sample preparation process, providing or evaluating suitable sample holders and conducting a pre-defined measurement protocol on the customer's sample or device. Upon completion, the customer receives a concise measurement report along with the RAW data and detailed instrument information. The service is offered in two delivery modes: (i) Standard measurements follow a fixed protocol with minor customisation options. Currently available measurements include low-temperature resistivity, critical current, I-V curves, superconducting resonator spectroscopy, RF transmission, and low-temperature sensor calibration. (ii) Custom measurements are available for requirements that cannot be met by the standard offering. The customer’s requirements are analysed in an initial call by kiutra’s quantum engineers and experts and the feasibility is evaluated. Once the scope of the project is clarified, kiutra’s experts start preparing the measurement environment, including the setup and integration of any additional room temperature equipment and the preparation of custom measurement scripts. Finally, once the measurement is fully prepared, the customer is invited to visit kiutra and attend the measurement in kiutra’s service area. If the customer requires further measurements of the same type, kiutra will evaluate if a fixed measurement service can be established for future measurements. kiutra is committed to expanding and enhancing its measurement capabilities to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
