Zero Point Cryogenics at the APS Global Physics Summit 2025: A Week of Innovation and Networking in Anaheim
The 2025 APS Global Physics Summit in Anaheim has wrapped up, and we at Zero Point Cryogenics (ZPC) had an amazing time on location connecting with the physics community. From March 15th to 22nd, over 15,000 physicists, researchers, and industry experts gathered to exchange ideas, showcase new developments, and form new collaborations.
As a leading North American manufacturer of handcrafted dilution refrigerators and cryostats, we were excited to be showcasing our advanced technology the event.
Our team, including CEO Chris Cassin, CTO Dr. John P. Davis, CCO Elise Usunier, Lead Scientist Dr. Paul Kim, Scientist Marvin Hirschel, Technical Sales Associate Eric Daigle, and Production Lead Ryan Jodoin, were on-site to share our latest innovations and meet with fellow researchers.
About the APS Global Physics Summit 2025
The APS Global Physics Summit, organized by the American Physical Society, is a major annual hub where researchers, engineers, and industry experts from around the world discuss quantum technologies, cryogenics, fundamental physics, and more. This year’s summit in Anaheim featured engaging panel discussions, interactive poster sessions, and a lively exhibition hall — all providing valuable opportunities to network and learn.
Our Participation at APS 2025
Exhibition at Booth #708
At Booth #708, for the first time ever, we featured a live demonstration of our Model L Dilution Refrigerator. There was a lot of interest leading up to the event, and that excitement carried over to the exhibit floor. We had great conversations with researchers about how our systems can support their work, particularly in quantum technology and low-temperature physics.
APS 2025 celebrated another milestone for ZPC: the launch of our newest product, the Patent-Pending 500 mK Phase Separation Refrigerator, designed to provide efficient, continuous cooling at ultra-low temperatures. Read more about how this system works in our blog post or the technical paper released on the arxiv just days before the event. The enthusiasm and feedback from our booth’s visitors reinforced our commitment to pushing the boundaries of cryogenic research and creating practical solutions for the scientific community.
Presentation by Marvin Hirschel
One of the highlights for us was supporting our team member, Marvin Hirschel, as he delivered his talk,“The Superfluid Helium Ultralight Dark Matter Detector HeLIOS.”, about his research at the University of Alberta’s Davis Lab. His presentation covered innovative approaches to developing a new generation of detectors designed to enhance dark matter detection using the low-loss acoustic modes of superfluid helium-4 at millikelvin temperatures. The potential of HeLIOS to broaden the dark matter detection bandwidth drew significant interest from attendees and brought a lot of interest back to our booth.
Connecting with the Community
Beyond the exhibition hall, our team took part in networking events such as the Resonance Party and the Quantum Machines Party at The Ranch, where our team was more than happy to show off our Albertan background with a line dance or two. These social gatherings, along with team dinners, lunches with customers, and impromptu chats throughout the week, made our time at APS 2025 even more memorable, strengthening existing relationships and building new ones within the industry.
Wrapping Up & Looking Ahead
As the exhibition came to a close, our team efficiently disassembled our booth, ensuring our cryostat was securely packed for safe transport home. The connections we made and the insights we gained will help drive our work forward and continue to inspire us as we explore new collaborations.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates as we push the boundaries of what’s possible in quantum research.
Zero Point Cryogenics – Colder for Longer
Zero Point Cryogenics is an Edmonton-based company that manufactures high-end cryogenic equipment. The company is focused on designing robust and reliable dilution refrigerators for our customers that will satisfy their space, size, and operation requirements. By creating the world’s most reliable dilution refrigerator, ZPC customers can focus on developing their quantum technologies instead of operating their refrigerators.
