Description
Detection of wave-like dark matter using superconducting qubits is
proposed. Due to their capacitive coupling with external electric
fields, superconducting qubits are well-suited for detecting dark
matter candidates such as hidden photons or axions, which induce
effective electric fields. I will discuss the expected sensitivity in
the search of these dark matter candidates using superconducting
qubits as quantum sensors. I will also explore a possibility to
enhance the signal rate with the help of the quantum coherence in
qubits.
