Description

Gravitational waves in the kHz regime are of particular interest because they may offer a window into astrophysical processes beyond the reach of current detection technologies. Within the framework of the QUest for AXion collaboration, tabletop-scale approaches to kHz gravitational-wave detection are being pursued by leveraging expertise in quantum sensing, quantum-limited detection, cryogenics, and high-field magnets. This talk presents a detection concept based on a superconducting LC circuit operated in a strong magnetic field and read out with SQUID amplifiers, together with the current status of the experiment, possible upgrades, and new experimental ideas for improving sensitivity.
