Title: Axion dark matter and neutrino detection with qubits
Room: 285
Host: Matthew Citron
Abstract: Detecting THz axion dark matter and low-energy coherent elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering (CEvNS) requires measuring meV energy depositions. Qubit-based sensors, such as Superconducting QUasiparticle-Amplifying Transmons (SQUATs), have the unique potential to robustly detect such small energies. In this talk, I will discuss the instrumentation of SQUAT sensors and their potential for discovery of new physics.
