SEMICONDUCTOR SPIN-BASED AXION SEARCHING
Mission of the project
Mission of the project
The SPINAX project aims to pioneer a new generation of quantum sensors capable of probing axion–electron interactions through semiconductor spin-qubit architectures. By leveraging the coherence and tunability of silicon and graphene-based spin systems, SPINAX seeks to translate axion-induced magnetic fields into measurable electronic signatures with sub-hertz precision. Through Quantum Engineering and the identification of annual and sidereal modulation fingerprints, the project aims to establish a scalable, chip-integrated, and falsifiable approach to axion dark matter detection, thereby bridging the frontier between quantum information science and fundamental particle physics.
Axion
Axion
The axion is a hypothetical elementary particle originally proposed to solve the strong CP problem in quantum chromodynamics, a long-standing mystery concerning why the strong nuclear force appears to conserve charge–parity symmetry. Beyond its elegant theoretical motivation, the axion has become one of the most compelling candidates for dark matter, a form of matter that constitutes most of the universe’s mass yet remains undetected through conventional means. Because axions interact extremely weakly with ordinary matter and electromagnetic fields, detecting them requires highly sensitive quantum technologies—ranging from microwave cavities and nuclear magnetic resonance systems to emerging solid-state spin-based sensors. Discovering the axion would not only resolve a deep theoretical inconsistency in the Standard Model but also revolutionize our understanding of cosmology and the composition of the universe.
