How cold can you get in space? Quantum physics at cryogenic temperatures in space

Although it is often believed that the coldness of space is ideally suited for performing measurements at cryogenic temperatures, this must be regarded with caution for two reasons: firstly, the sensitive instrument must be completely shielded from the strong solar radiation and therefore, e.g., eit...
