"5 to 10°mK required by dilution refrigerators, but semi-rigid coaxial cables interfacing with quantum processors impose heavy, unsustainable heat loads/ physical volume limitations inside refrigerator footprints as systems expand... overcome using high-density stripline layering conductive materials inside flexible polymer shields for high-speed data transmission/ direct current power... mitigates signal attenuation/ prevents electromagnetic crosstalk... minimal thermal footprint, scales to 1,000s of qubits"
