“High Precision
Devices consistently produces instruments
and components of the highest quality.
Whether we give them a general conceptual
drawing for which they engineer and deliver
a complete solution, or we provide a
finished set of drawings for production, or
we have a project requiring some
collaborative R&D—their versatile
staff always exceeds our expectations. They
excel at providing expertise in mechanical
design and instrument building, innovative
application of specialized materials and
technologies, and delivery of products that
meet tight tolerances.”

“High Precision
Devices has been instrumental in the
successful completion of many jobs for me.
These jobs have ranged from the design and
fabrication of instruments based on
specifications, to build to print jobs. In
all cases, HPD has delivered quality
products in a timely fashion. Further, HPD
has diligently made an effort to deliver
what was actually needed, rather than just
what had been specified. Their innovations
have solved a number of difficult problems
for me, and their careful work has caught
my errors more times than I care to admit.
In the present world of fast pace
development and rapid prototyping, HPD is a
valuable team member to have
available.”

“The compact
housing and the small, integral,
high-precision optical mounts we needed to
build our state-of-the-art optical
correlator prototype could not be assembled
from off-the-shelf components. We asked
High Precision Devices to help us with this
because of their extensive experience and
expertise in precision opto-mechanical
systems. HPD brought a great deal of skill
and creativity to bear in collaborating
with us to solve our design problems, and
in building this complex unit. Their
contribution was instrumental to the
success of our project, and virtually all
of our customers comment on how impressed
they are by the mechanical design of our
prototype.”

“Hypres, Inc., a
state-of-the-art manufacturer of thin-film
superconducting circuits, requires our
vendors to provide both high quality and
precision subassemblies for our products,
and for our contract projects. High
Precision Devices has the technical and
communication skills necessary to
"bridge the technologies" in the
implementation of our designs. HPD has
consistently provided quality design and
manufacturing services from concept to
finished product. Their ability to provide
quality, on-time, cost effective services
are a few of the reasons why we continue to
rely on their expertise.”

“I would like to
voice my support for High Precision
Devices’ efforts to develop a
‘dry’ dilution refrigerator
(DR). They have shown an extreme amount of
skill in the past developing
‘dry’ adiabatic demagnetization
refrigerators (ADR) as well as helium based
DRs. This shows that HPD has the ability to
successfully develop new technology that is
ahead of conventional thinking and standard
practices. While at NIST over the last six
years, I have witnessed the results of
various projects requiring work done by
HPD. HPD has always shown a very high level
of care and attention to detail
unprecedented by other vendors. They have
always provided clever and novel ideas that
actually work. Their skill in design and
their follow through in fabrication of
systems is unmatched.”

“I am writing to
express strong support for the continued
funding of High Precision Devices (HPD) to
develop a large wire count, cryogen-free
dilution refrigerator (DR) cryostat. I can
speak from personal experience to the
unique culture of innovation and high level
of technical expertise of the HPD engineers
and designers. I was a postdoctoral fellow
with John Martinis at NIST during the time
that HPD developed their large wire count
DR design, and was impressed by the skill
with which HPD addressed key technical
obstacles, and by the speed with which this
project moved from the design phase to
realization of an optimized system. Two HPD
cryogenic systems—a dry ADR and a
wet, large wire count DR—are the key
pieces of infrastructure in my
superconducting qubit laboratory at the
University of Wisconsin, and these systems
have operated beautifully for the past two
years, more or less around the clock. I am
sure that no other organization is as well
positioned to deliver a cryogen-free, large
wire count DR as is HPD.”
