Harvesting quantum coherence from axion dark matter

Abstract
Quantum coherence is one of the most striking features of quantum mechanics rooted in the superposition principle. Recently it has been demonstrated that it is possible to harvest the quantum coherence from a coherent scalar field. In order to explore a new method of detecting axion dark matter, we consider a point-like Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to the axion field and quantify a coherent measure of the detector. We show that the detector can harvest the quantum coherence from the axion dark matter. To be more precise, we consider a two-level of electron system in an atom as the detector. In this case, we obtain the coherence measure where and are an observation time and the Lorentz factor. At the same time, the axion mass we can probe is determined by the energy gap of the detector.
