The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office awarded a $250,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910) to the Regents of the University of Minnesota. This 24-month award, effective September 30, 2025, aims to experimentally demonstrate a first-in-class Electron Hydrodynamics (EHD) refrigerator. The project seeks to leverage the fluid-like viscous flow of electrons in ultrapure quantum materials to emulate classical fluid-based cooling devices, with the goal of accelerating the scaling of quantum computing hardware through innovative thermal management on quantum chips. The award supports research to advance the fundamental knowledge of the emerging EHD field and deliver a disruptive cryogenic cooling technology for on-demand cooling of quantum systems.
