Description
The SQMS Center develops state-of-the-art superconducting technologies for ultra-sensitive searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. Central to this effort are superconducting cavities with world-record quality factors, operating as precision sensors for extremely weak signals. When integrated with superconducting devices, these systems can enable even further enhanced sensitivity and faster scanning of parameter space. SQMS researchers are advancing a broad program of quantum sensing experiments targeting dark matter and other BSM physics, including axion and dark photon searches, light-shining-through-wall experiments, and cavity-based detection of high-frequency gravitational waves. This talk will highlight the underlying technologies and discuss current and upcoming experimental efforts.
