Abstract: Heat transfer is known to be a concern when scaling up a quantum computer. Some basic superconducting devices may dissipate some energy when switched and may interface in close proximity with the qubits. Highly conductive thermal vias may be used to transport hot electrons away from the qubits and into liquid 3He, which has relatively good bulk heat transport properties, such as relatively high thermal conductivity and heat capacity, at milliKelvin temperatures. Large Kapitza resistance between solids and liquid helium may present an issue getting the heat from the thermal vias to the liquid helium. However, Kapitza resistance may be minimized by using a porous open-cell metal ‘sponge’ having very high internal surface area per unit volume.
