Sensitive qubit-based technique to accelerate search for dark matter Sensitive qubit-based technique to accelerate search for dark matter Share The blue cylinder in this diagram represents a superconducting microwave cavity used to accumulate a dark matter signal. The purple is the qubit used to measure the state of the cavity, either 0 or 1. The value refers to the number of photons counted. If the dark matter has successfully deposited a photon in the cavity, the output would measure 1. No ...
