  abstract     = {{Cryogenic non-volatile memory technologies are crucial for realizing energy-efficient and scalable quantum computing systems. Ferroelectric capacitors (FeCAPs) are promising candidates; however, conventional readout relies on polarization switching, resulting in destructive operation. In this work, we demonstrate the cryogenic implementation of non-destructive capacitive readout (NDRO) in conventional Hf0.5Zr0.5O2-based capacitors down to 10 K. By exploiting the capacitance difference between polarization states, stable readout at Vread = 0 V is achieved without perturbing the stored state. The devices exhibit stable retention over 1000 s and low variability across devices and repeated reads at room temperature, 77 K, and 10 K. Multilevel operation is demonstrated at 10 K with multiple distinct capacitance states maintained under NDRO conditions. Endurance measurements at 10 K show clear state separation beyond 107 cycles. Analysis of the temperature-dependent behaviour indicates that imprint-induced asymmetry plays a key role in enabling reliable state discrimination at cryogenic temperatures, despite the reduction in absolute capacitance with decreasing temperature. These results demonstrate the feasibility of NDRO in standard nominally symmetric ferroelectric capacitors at cryogenic temperatures without deliberate interface engineering, highlighting their potential for cryogenic memory and in-memory computing applications.}},
