Description
Superconducting qubits are sensitive to noise - from electromagnetic disturbances, impurities in the material, and even cosmic rays can easily perturb their quantum states and induce errors.
While none of these are desirable from the quantum computer point of view, the high sensitivity implies potential usage as for sensors for exotic weak fields—such as dark matter.
In this talk, I overview the currently explored ideas of sensor application of superconducting qubits, quantum-limit sensing techniques, and the prospect of future experiment designs including the possibility of using quantum computers themselves as dark matter detectors.
