SUMMARY:ICFO | JORDI MIRALDA-ESCUDÉ
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The evidence for cold dark matter in the Universe\, with a mean
  density about 5 times that of baryonic matter\, is nowadays clear beyond 
 reasonable doubt. Among the candidates for dark matter\, the original pseu
 doscalar axion stands out as a prediction from a theory that was purely co
 nceived to solve a fundamental and inescapable problem in particle physics
 \, the strong CP problem. Experiments using resonant cavities in strong ma
 gnetic fields have been pushing the upper limits to the axion-photon coupl
 ing at various axion masses to the interesting range of the axion model pr
 ediction.\nAt present\, superconducting transmons are a promising technolo
 gy to increase the sensitivity of single photon detection by a large facto
 r\, allowing axionsearches to reach masses and couplings of high theoretic
 al expectation for a potential discovery. In this talk I will present a re
 analysis of the data of the first non-demolition experiment by Dixit et al
 . (2021)\, which points to the technical progress thatis needed to make th
 ese experiments reach an optimal sensitivity.
