The super-fridge is known as project Goldeneye.
IBM has built a super-fridge known as project Goldeneye that is capable of cooling future generations of quantum experiments and that surpasses the issues found in today’s dilution refrigerators,The company's engineers said that the new device may not be slated for use with any of the current IBM Quantum processors but that building it taught them important lessons on how to overcome these challenges.
The IBM team managed to successfully cool the fridge down to operating temperature and wired a quantum processor inside.
It features an all-new construction of the frame and cryostat and a modular design which made prototyping, assembly, and disassembly a much easier lift for just a team of four IBM engineers. This makes it quite a unique model as other large dilution refrigerators may require larger cranes and a dozen or more technicians for assembly and disassembly.
