Abstract
We propose an experiment to search for axions and axion-like-particles in the galactic halo using quantum-enhanced interferometry. This proposal is related to the previously reported ideas (Phys. Rev. D 98, 035021, Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 161301, Phys. Rev. D 100, 023548) but searches for axions in the mass range from $10^{-16}$ eV up to $10^{-8}$ eV using two coupled optical cavities. We also show how to apply squeezed states of light to enhance the sensitivity of the experiment similar to the gravitational-wave detectors. The proposed experiment has a potential to be further scaled up to a multi-km long detector. We show that such an instrument has a potential to set constrains of the axion-photon coupling coefficient of $\sim 10^{-18}$ GeV$^{-1}$ for axion masses of $10^{-16}$ eV or detect the signal.
我们提出了一个用量子增强干涉术在星系晕中寻找轴子和类轴子粒子的实验。这一建议与先前报道的想法有关(物理学。Rev. D 98,035021，物理;Rev. Lett. 121,161301, Phys但在$10^{-16}$ eV到$10^{-8}$ eV的质量范围内，使用两个耦合光学腔来搜索轴子。我们还展示了如何应用光的压缩态来提高实验的灵敏度，类似于引力波探测器。提出的实验有可能进一步扩大到一个多公里长的探测器。我们证明了这样的仪器有可能对轴子质量为$10^{-16}$ eV的轴子-光子耦合系数$10^{-18}$ GeV$^{-1}$设置约束或检测信号。
