New quantum network could finally reveal dark matter

Tohoku University researchers have found a way to make quantum sensors more sensitive by connecting superconducting qubits in optimized network patterns. These networks amplify faint signals possibly left by dark matter. The approach outperformed traditional methods even under realistic noise. Beyond physics, it could revolutionize radar, MRI, and navigation technologies.

Quantum sensor networks enhance search for elusive dark matter

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Oct 27, 2025 Dark matter remains one of physics' most enduring mysteries, yet researchers at Tohoku University have developed a promising new strategy to detect it-by linking quantum sensors into sophisticated network structures. These quantum sensors, based on superconducting qubits, can pick up incredibly faint signals that ordinary detectors would miss. By organizing the qubits into optimized networ
