Modern Cryogenic Electronics Patents Survey

A survey of modern cryogenic electronics patents is the focus of this article. Modern patent databases such as PatSearch, Espacenet, and Orbit Questel were used to conduct an information search. Patent families related to cryogenic electronics over the past 20 years have been identified. The dynamics of patenting in this area is shown. The world leaders in the number of patents are revealed. The largest number of patents is registered in China. IBM holds the most patents in this field worldwide. Cryogenic electronics are the most dynamically developing industry. Modern commercially attractive solutions are associated with the development of a quantum computer. The development of wireless systems of qubit control and reading is the most relevant. It was found that there is no available information about the possibility of using an industrially produced electronic component base to create cryogenic electronics devices. Electronic components specially designed for cryogenic conditions are most often used, as a rule, using the superconductivity effect.
