With the SQI Voucher Call condenZero and ZHAW developed a novel, fully contactless temperature sensor for cryogenic environments. The technology enables highly accurate temperature measurements directly at the sample location without introducing heat loads or being affected by electromagnetic interference. Successfully advanced from laboratory validation to its first industrial deployment, the project demonstrates strong potential for quantum technologies and other high-performance cryogenic applications.
