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…

Inelastically Decoupling Dark Matter

Ronny Frumkin, Yonit Hochberg, Eric Kuflik +1

We present a new dark matter candidate, the `inELastically DEcoupling Relic' (iELDER), which is a cold thermal relic whose abundance is determined by the freeze out of its inelasti…

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…

First direct search for light dark matter interactions in a transition-edge sensor

Christina Schwemmbauer, Guy Daniel Hadas, Yonit Hochberg +9

We propose the use of transition-edge sensor (TES) single-photon detectors as a simultaneous target and sensor for direct dark matter searches, and report results from the first se…

Phases of Dark Matter from Inverse Decays

Ronny Frumkin, Yonit Hochberg, Eric Kuflik +1

Inverse decays are an interesting avenue for producing dark matter in the early universe. We study in detail various phases of dark matter parameter space where inverse decays cont…
