About
Zero Point Cryogenics (ZPC), based in Edmonton, is the only Canadian manufacturer of dilution refrigerators, and it has grown rapidly to meet increasing demand for quantum computing cryogenics. Its products include premium, customizable dilution refrigerators designed for quantum technology applications, addressing North American demand with shorter delivery times and local support compared with European suppliers. In 2025, the company received a U.S. patent for a Phase Separation Refrigerator that enables continuous cooling to 500 millikelvin without large volumes of helium-3, the first new cooling mechanism invented in sixty years. The system uses a helium-3/helium-4 mixture with a simplified evaporation-based technique, with deployment to university and government labs starting Spring 2026. ZPC's Model I cryogen-free dilution refrigerator serves quantum computing and sensing research, and the company built a Canadian-made dilution refrigerator for the National Research Council.
