Superconducting quantum bits (qubits) are sensitive to ionizing radiation, including γ-rays from environmental radioactivity and cosmic-ray muons. These interactions produce quasiparticle bursts in the substrate, causing decoherence and correlated errors across multiple qubits—posing a critical challenge for fault-tolerant quantum computing. While passive shielding can suppress most...
BULLKID-DM is a new experiment aimed at searching for hypothetical
WIMP-like Dark-Matter particles with mass around 1 GeV or below and
cross-section with nucleons smaller than $10^{-41}$ cm$^{2}$. The
target detector consists of a stack of diced silicon phonon collectors,
acting as an array of particle absorbers sensed by multiplexed Kinetic
Inductance Detectors (KIDs). The target will...
