Quantum Computing Enclosures
by nVent SchroffFocus on Quantum Breakthroughs, Not Infrastructure Barriers
nVent Schroff provides proven, high-performance enclosures, cooling systems, and EMI shielding that take the complexity out of building a stable quantum computing setup. Our solutions are designed so that engineers can spend less time managing hardware limitations and more time advancing quantum technology. With precise thermal management, interference protection, and modular designs, we make it easy to scale and optimize quantum systems.
Choosing the Right Quantum Computing Enclosure
Selecting the right enclosure is a crucial step in building a quantum computing system that is stable, reliable, and scalable. Quantum computers operate under highly specific conditions, requiring precise thermal management, protection from electromagnetic interference (EMI), and the ability to expand as technology advances. Engineers need enclosures that not only house delicate electronics but also actively contribute to performance optimization and long-term system integrity.
Here’s a break down of the key factors to consider when choosing an enclosure for your quantum computing setup:
Temperature Control
Quantum computers need stable, low temperatures to work properly. Our enclosures offer:
- Precise temperature control (±0.5°C) to avoid thermal drift.
- Air-to-liquid cooling to efficiently manage heat.
- Compact cooling units that fit into lab and commercial setups.
EMI Protection
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can disrupt quantum operations. Our enclosures provide:
-
Built-in EMI shielding to protect sensitive electronics.
-
Low-noise design to keep qubits stable.
-
Shielded enclosures to block environmental interference.
Scalability & Future Expansion
Quantum computing is advancing fast. Our enclosures are designed to grow with your needs:
-
Modular designs to support increasing qubit counts.
-
Custom configurations to fit specific hardware setups.
-
PXIe and MicroTCA compatibility for seamless upgrades.

Case Study
How Qblox Scaled Their Quantum Computing System
With a branded, semi-custom chassis, Qblox has the mechanical support they need to grow with their customers.
The Challenge
Qblox, a Netherlands-based quantum computing company, needed a turnkey enclosure solution that would let them focus on quantum control rather than enclosure engineering. Their system required:
-
Stable thermal conditions to maintain qubit coherence.
-
Effective EMI shielding to prevent interference.
-
Modularity for future expansion without costly redesigns.
-
Custom form factors to fit lab environments.
The Solution
nVent Schroff collaborated with Qblox to create semi-custom enclosures that delivered:
-
Integrated air-to-liquid cooling for precise temperature control.
-
Pre-engineered EMI shielding to eliminate signal interference.
-
Modular rack solutions designed to grow with Qblox’s evolving research needs.
-
Custom branding & form factors to integrate seamlessly into their quantum lab setup.
Results and Impact
-
Improved qubit performance due to stable operating conditions.
-
Faster deployment—Qblox didn’t have to develop its own enclosures.
-
Seamless scalability, allowing easy system expansion.
-
Time savings, letting engineers focus on innovation instead of infrastructure.
“nVent SCHROFF made it easy for a company like ours, that doesn’t have a large team of mechanical engineers, to create a semi-custom configuration that’s tailored to what we need.”
