Description
We suggest that experiments based on Josephson junctions, SQUIDS, and
coupled Josephson qubits may be used to construct a resonant environment
for dark matter axions. We propose experimental setups in which axionic
interaction strengths in a Josephson junction environment can be tested,
similar in nature to recent experiments that test for quantum
entanglement of two coupled Josephson qubits. We point out that the
parameter values relevant for early-universe axion cosmology are
accessible with present day's achievements in nanotechnology. We work
out how typical dark matter and dark energy signals would look like in a
novel detector that exploits this effect.
