The Descent

Colder is deeper. Every page on SymbiQ sits at the depth it belongs at in a dilution refrigerator: warm and easy at the top, cold and exact at the bottom.

Six plates, from 300 K down to 10 mK: the same six as the 3D machine. The list under the picture is the same map in words, and every plate is a link into it.

The site as a dilution refrigerator Six plates stacked from warm at the top to cold at the bottom: 300 K, For the curious; 50 K, Explainers; 4 K, Tools and games; 0.8 K, The still; 100 mK, Your own record; 10 mK, The mixing chamber. Each plate links to its place in the list below. Three lines run down the right, one for each learning track.

Explore the map in 3D

The same six plates as a model you can turn. It loads only when you ask, and the list below does the same job without it.

The same map, as a list
