Probing Dark Matter-Electron Interactions with Superconducting Qubits
Yonit Hochberg, Majed Khalaf, Noah Kurinsky +2
Quantum device measurements are powerful tools to probe dark matter interactions. Among these, transmon qubits stand out for their ability to suppress external noise while remainin…
Determining (All) Dark Matter-Electron Scattering Rates From Material Properties
Yonit Hochberg, Majed Khalaf, Alessandro Lenoci +1
We show that the scattering rate for any dark matter (DM) interaction with electrons in any target is proportional to several measurable material properties, encapsulated by a sing…
Unconventional Materials for Light Dark Matter Detection
Yonit Hochberg, Dino Novko, Rotem Ovadia +1
We propose the use of several unconventional materials as detectors for dark matter with mass beneath the MeV scale. These include the transition-metal dichalcogenide TiSe host…
The Seiberg-Witten Axion
Csaba Csáki, Rotem Ovadia, Maximilian Ruhdorfer +2
We present a fully calculable UV complete toy model of a Peccei-Quinn (PQ) axion coupled to magnetic monopoles as well as electric charges. The theory has manifest electric-magneti…
