When you cool something down to near absolute zero it can turn into a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose-Einstein_condensate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose-Einstein_condensate For example at 1.7×10^-7K rbidium turns into a BEC. At 10^-8K perhaps that would turn normal matter into a BEC. Then you would have to be able to get useful information out of a state of matter where every possible value exists at once, and the tool your using to read values warms the condensate past the point of being one. Hey - I think you just invented a quantum computer. Congrats.
On a site note I think lasers are the advanced cooling system of the future!
