Quantum hardware in copper and stainless.
Cryostat plates, thermal links, sample mounts, RF and microwave housings and vacuum hardware for quantum computing programs. Our vetted vendor network machines C101 copper, aluminum and stainless to ±0.001″ on critical features. Technical data is handled under NIST 800-171 compliant controls, and one project manager stays with your program.
How we review it
Your project manager and a technical lead review every print within 24 hours. For cryogenic and vacuum hardware we confirm copper grade, plating callouts and surface finish requirements, then route the job only to shops with a track record in that material.

Before it’s built
Quantum hardware usually starts as a physics lab drawing. We check for sharp internal corners that copper won’t hold cleanly, plating callouts that conflict with the base metal, and cleaning and packaging requirements for vacuum service before the quote goes out.
Quantum hardware questions
Yes. Cryostat plates, thermal links and mounts are machined in C101 and C110 copper through shops in our network with a track record in that material. We confirm copper grade during drawing review.
Yes. Gold and nickel plating are available to your callout, and plating certs ship with the order. We flag plating callouts that conflict with the base metal before the job goes out.
We confirm cleaning, handling and packaging requirements for vacuum service at quote. List your cleanliness spec with the RFQ so it’s priced and scheduled from the start.
No. Most quantum hardware starts that way. Our engineers review the print, flag features like sharp internal corners that copper won’t hold cleanly, and tell you what a change would save before we quote.
Precision Expedited is NIST 800-171 compliant and ITAR registered. Drawings and models are handled under documented access controls from RFQ to delivery.
