"To date, despite all these ideas, there hasn’t been a single shred of solid evidence for the existence of #axions."

You may be aware that I frequently moan about the way #DarkMatter is too often treated as real, rather than a class (an enormous class) of models. This article is good. The […]

Newfound imitation dark matter axions might reveal the real thing A long-elusive, hypothetical subatomic particle called the axion can be simulated and potentially detected in a type of thin material.

Dark matter might finally meet the lab.

Physicists have created a system that mimics axions — one of the top dark matter candidates — using quasiparticles.

This could mean real-world tests are possible without looking to space.

Scientists Say Dark Matter May Be Giving Off a Signal Dark matter, the invisible stuff that scientists have determined makes up 85 percent of the mass in the universe, remains one of the biggest mysteries. For one, it can't be directly observed. The only way we know about its existence are its gravitational effects on stars and galaxies. As detailed in a paper published in the journal Nature, an international team of researchers proposes a new type of detector they liken to a "cosmic car radio," that could one day shed new light on the matter. Such a device would "tune in" to the frequency of axions, hypothetical particles that […]

_This post is adapted from one originally published by Fermilab_ > Fermilab is finalizing a partnership with Diraq and several universities — including the University of Wisconsin–Madison — for the Quandarum project. The project team intends to combine extreme environment electronics and silicon spin qubits to develop a quantum sensor that could profoundly impact the field of high-energy physics. Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, along with scientists and engineers at Diraq, University of Wisconsin–Madison, University of Chicago and Manchester University, have proposed the development of a quantum sensor made of quantum bits called spin qubits in silicon to probe beyond Standard Model physics. The scalability advantages available via silicon CMOS wafer manufacture deliver significant promise for Diraq’s patented spin-based quantum dot technology. Credit: Diraq By placing many spin qubits together on a chip to form a sensor, the researchers seek to enable scientists to tease out even the faintest signals from the cosmos. Such a sensor could potentially be used to detect axions, hypothetical particles that some scientists believe comprises dark matter. Led by Fermilab, the Quandarum project is one of 25 projects funded for a total of $71 million by the DOE program Quantum Information Science Enabled Discovery. The QuantISED program supports innovative research at national laboratories and universities that applies quantum technologies to use for fundamental science discovery. Matthew Otten “The project is looking at how quantum sensors might be used for high energy physics applications, specifically in axion detection,” says UW–Madison physics professor Matt Otten. “[My partners] know much more about axion detection, I happen to not know about axions, and that’s why we’re a team.” With this award, researchers plan to develop a novel sensor. To do so, they plan to bring together for the first time two specialized technologies: spin qubits in silicon and cryogenic “skipper” analog-to-digital converter circuits used for the readout of dark matter detectors. Silicon spin-based quantum sensors can provide a powerful platform for testing theories around dark matter because they can exploit quantum interactions to increase sensitivity and explore the limits of what scientists understand about high-energy physics. “My group’s part of it is, given these large silicon qubit arrays, we might utilize the fact that they are essentially quantum computers,” Otten says. “We’re going to be studying entanglement enhanced quantum sensing, either through the use of error correcting code or through novel entangled states.” Read the full story
