| contents | While nonclassical light sources are fundamental to quantum communication and computing, solid-state platforms like color centers and quantum dots require cryogenic temperatures to reach the performance levels necessary for practical applications. Over the past decade, low-temperature engineering has transitioned from manual handling of liquid cryogens to automated closed-cycle cryostats. This review details the principles behind modern cooling hardware ranging from flow cryostats to mechanical cryocoolers and dilution refrigerators, with a specific focus on the requirements of optical quantum devices. Aimed at the practicing scientist, this overview provides the technical insights and historical context needed to navigate the current cryogenic landscape and evaluate its role in the future of quantum technology deployment. |
