Project funded by Research Council of Finland, grant 361339. Participating organisations named by the source: Aalto University. Funded amount: EUR 678,042, as stated by the source. Runs 2024-09-01 to 2028-08-31. Keywords: Physical sciences. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2024-09-13); national funding data, not CORDIS. Abstract given by the source: The project entitled "Coherent interaction-free measurements (cIFM) using superconducting quantum circuits" is based on the absorption-free detection of microwave photons. Detection of a single microwave photon has been a challenge due to its extremely low energy. Using the proposed idea, we will be able to have a highly efficient detection of very low flux of microwave photons. The experiments will be performed using dilution refrigerator at a temperature of approximately 10 mK in the state-of-art low temperature lab of Aalto University, Finland. This project is much desired and timely with a wide range of applications- from the cutting-edge quantum technologies in building quantum computers to counterfactual communication and detect the communication channel breaches. This project also has the potential to revolutionize our understanding about the Universe, by capturing the signatures of a hypothetical elementary particle axion, which is postulated as a constituent of dark matter.
