Helium-3 for Quantum Computing

Helium-3 is the working fluid of dilution refrigeration - a strategic input to the whole superconducting and spin-qubit industry, and a natural co-product of Kronos's fusion fuel cycle.

The concept

There is no practical substitute for helium-3 in reaching millikelvin temperatures at scale. Terrestrial supply comes mainly from tritium decay, so it is scarce, while quantum-computing demand rises alongside cryogenics and neutron detection.

How Kronos uses it

Kronos treats helium-3 as a bankable materials co-product rather than a revenue centerpiece: a strategic output of the fuel cycle that plugs into a real, growing quantum-computing supply need.

Honest note

The value is in supplying a strategic isotope; helium-3's worth is not counted as revenue.
