Project description
In AXQM I will use an advanced sensor based on quantum effects a solid material to experimentally search for new physics, as new emergent fields arising from a potential dark matter candidate. The goal is observe an anomalous magnetic field associated with a hypothetical elementary particle: the axion. Although experimentally challenging, the detection of the axion would answer two key unsolved questions in physics and reshape our fundamental understanding of the universe.
