  • Patent number: 11367983
    Abstract: A connection system for a quantum computer that employs constant impedance connectors with attenuation or filtering components or both embedded therein or within an adaptor removably insertable within an adaptor housing for use in a cryogenically cooled quantum computer. The connection system provides a higher density of cables traversing through a hermetic sealed top plate, and which are accessible to chill blocks to reduce the thermal energy from the signal lines. Attenuators or filter circuits are embedded in the constant impedance connector housings, or provided in adaptors that connect on each end to form mating constant impedance connections, in order to reduce signal strength as the signal progresses through the cryogenic environment and to remove extraneous electrical signal noise.

  • Patent number: 9559480
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for making an interconnection between power cables and signal cables. A single electrical interface in mid- or backplane applications is introduced to accommodate a wide range of board thickness variations while maintaining a desired interface relationship, using a connector plug bushing, a male connector having a sliding fit with the bushing, a first coaxial connector plug, a female connector plug with a housing width sized to provide a sliding fit within the connector plug bushing inner opening, and a second coaxial connector plug in the free end of the female connector plug for connection to the power and signal cables. A constant impedance connector is used with the interconnection of the RF signal and power cables.

  • Patent number: 6224421
    Abstract: A multi-part electrical connector includes a base piece (10) that is mounted to an electrical circuit board (88), preferably by soldering, and a double ended connector piece (12) that is attached to the base piece. The base piece includes a mount (14) at one end and a base subconnector (16) at the other end. The base subconnector mates with a corresponding subconnector formed on one end (28) of the double ended connector piece, the other end (26) having the desired type of main connector. A resilient piece (42), preferably in the shape of an O-ring and positioned between the base piece (10) and the double ended connector piece (12), allows the main connector end (26) of the double ended connector piece (12) to move relative to the base piece (10) so that it self aligns as a corresponding main connector is mated.
