Description

Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Information Technology Lab (ITL) intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under the authority of FAR 13.501, with Bluefors Inc. to acquire a Bluefors LD250 Quantum Memory Dilution Refrigerator.

Background Information and Basis for Sole Source

Quantum memory is an important device for quantum communication and networks, especially for quantum repeater and quantum network nodes. SiC (silicon carbide) micro-cavity enhanced quantum memory based on Erbium-Doped Yttrium Orthosilicate (Er:YSO) is a promising solution for high efficient quantum memory at telecom wavelength. Currently, in collaboration with University of Chicago (U. Chicago) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), the quantum communication and networking (QuCaN) project at the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is developing such a quantum memory. NIST ITL plans to deploy on the NIST Gaithersburg (NG-QNet) and DC area (DC-QNET) quantum network testbeds at NIST Gaithersburg, MD campus.

In collaboration with U. Chicago and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), NIST is developing SiC micro-cavity enhanced quantum memory based on Er:YSO. The memory must be operated at mK cryogenic temperature. To fulfill its mission, NIST ITL requires a dilution refrigerator to provide the cryogenic temperature environment. The dilution refrigerator must reach 10 mK temperature and achieve vibration isolation. This type of system has been implemented by NIST ITL collaborators and the required system must be fully compatible with the system of NIST ITL collaborators to enable collaborations. NIST ITL collaborators utilize Bluefors LD250 dilution refrigerator system. The device and corresponding experimental set-up are designed explicitly for this system and will be integrated with existing WR infrastructure on the network an...
