DRDO Backs Indigenous 20 mK Dilution Refrigerator for Quantum Technologies
On 24th September 2026, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) signed an agreement with Zero mK India Private Limited for indigenous development of a 20 millikelvin (mK) dilution refrigerator under the Technology Development Fund (TDF) scheme. The project targets a critical enabling technology for quantum computing and advanced cryogenic research.
What is a Dilution Refrigerator?
- A dilution refrigerator is a specialised cryogenic system capable of maintaining temperatures extremely close to absolute zero.
- At such ultra-low temperatures, thermal vibrations are drastically reduced, allowing delicate quantum states to survive long enough to be measured and manipulated.
Why 20 mK Matters
- Many quantum ....
