TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a super-large dilution refrigerator. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of quantum computers, the number of qubits is increasing, and the refrigeration capacity of quantum computers at 10-100mK temperature will continue to increase. Currently, the mainstream dilution refrigerator uses a GM refrigerator or a pulse tube refrigerator as a cold source, and the maximum refrigeration capacity provided at 100mK temperature can only reach the mW level, which can only meet the heat dissipation demand of less than 2 qubits. However, future quantum computers with more than one million qubits require a refrigeration capacity of 0.5-1W or more, which means that the cooling capacity of the super-large dilution refrigerator needs to be increased by more than 1000 times compared to the current mainstream products. If the quantum computer still uses small refrigerators such as GM refrigerators or pulse tube refrigerators as a cold source, and uses a room temperature vacuum pump to circulate helium 3 in the dilution part, for quantum computers with more than one million qubits, hundreds or even thousands of small refrigerators and helium 3 room temperature vacuum pumps need to be modularly integrated.

[0025] The precooling unit comprises a helium 4 liquid pool 5, a helium 4 liquid immersion heat exchanger in the helium 4 liquid pool 5, a superfluid helium 4 liquid pool 7, a superfluid helium immersion heat exchanger in the superfluid helium 4 liquid pool 7, a helium 3 liquid pool 10 and a helium 3 liquid immersion heat exchanger in the helium 3 liquid pool 10, the circulating booster unit comprises a precooling booster pump group 3 and a circulating pump group 4, and the heat exchange unit comprises a first-stage heat exchanger group 6 and a second-stage heat exchanger group 8.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, the dilution unit 2 is a distillation chamber, a heat exchanger, a mixing chamber, etc., which is similar to the structure of a traditional dilution refrigerator. In the boosting circuit, the negative pressure helium 3 gas in the helium 3 liquid pool 10 first passes through the secondary heat exchanger group 8, the superfluid helium immersion heat exchanger, the primary heat exchanger group 6 and the liquid helium pool heat exchanger to recover the cold capacity, and then the negative pressure helium 3 gas is pressurized by the pre-cooling booster pump group 3. The inlet pressure is determined by the saturation temperature of helium 4 in the helium 3 liquid pool 10 (usually 0.6-0.7K) and the pressure drop along the pipeline. The helium 3 gas pressurized by the pre-cooling booster pump group 3 first passes through the liquid helium pool for heat exchange cooling, and then enters the primary heat exchanger group 6 and is helium 3 The return gas from the liquid pool 10 is cooled, then enters the superfluid helium immersion heat exchanger for secondary cooling, and enters the secondary heat exchanger group 8 to be further cooled by the helium 3 return gas.
