The Government has determined that other companies' products and services do not meet or cannot be modified to meet the Government's needs. The required filters require no PID locking and approach the quantum limit with 100 dB of isolation, a metric no other company can provide. High isolation filters are necessary specifically for operating quantum transducers. Without these filters, the Government would not be able to scale superconducting qubit systems to utility scale, or connect superconducting qubits to other qubit modalities. The high isolation filters are a critical component of AFRL-s progress on research on connecting different quantum systems together in order to advance quantum computing, quantum sensing, a...
