Experiment uses quantum techniques to stimulate photons, enhancing search for dark matter
Scientists at Fermilab and University of Chicago used a superconducting qubit to prepare a microwave cavity in a special state to stimulate photons. They hope this technology will help detect the existence of dark matter.
