Description
Axions are a promising dark matter candidate, but the microwave signals expected from axion-photon conversion are extremely weak. To overcome the limitations of the standard quantum limit (SQL), single microwave photon detectors provide a promising approach for axion searches. We are developing a single microwave photon detector based on a superconducting transmon qubit for the detection of such weak microwave photons. This study aims to establish a highly sensitive quantum sensor and contribute to future quantum-enhanced searches for axion dark matter.
