Technologies that rely on quantum bits (qubits) require long coherence times and high-fidelity operations. Superconducting qubits are one of the leading platforms for achieving these objectives. However, the coherence of superconducting qubits is affected by the breaking of Cooper pairs of electrons.

The axion is a promising dark matter candidate, which was originally proposed to solve the strong-CP problem in particle physics. To date, the available parameter space for axion and axionlike particle dark matter is relatively unexplored, particularly at masses m_{a}≲1  μeV. ABRACADABRA is a new experimental program to search for axion dark matter over a broad range of masses, 10^{-12}≲m_{a}≲10^{-6}  eV.
