• Abstract: Quantum coherence is one of the most striking features of quantum mechanics rooted in the superposition principle. Recently it has been demonstrated that it is possible to harvest the quantum coherence from a coherent scalar field. In order to explore a new method of detecting axion dark matter, we consider a point-like Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to the axion field and quantify a coherent measure of the detector. We show that the detector can harvest the quantum coherence from the axion dark matter. To be more precise, we consider a two-level of electron system in an atom as the detector. In this case, we obtain the coherence measure $C=2.2\times 10^{-6}\gamma\, \left(T/1{\rm s}\right)$ where $T$ and $\gamma$ are an observation time and the Lorentz factor. At the same time, the axion mass $m_a$ we can probe is determined by the energy gap of the detector.

• Hawking radiation for detectors in superposition of locations outside a black hole [0.0]
  Hawking radiation is the proposed thermal black-body radiation of quantum nature emitted from a black hole. One common way to give an account of Hawking radiation is to consider a detector that follows a static trajectory in the vicinity of a black hole. We study the Hawking radiation perceived by a detector that follows a quantum superposition of static trajectories in Schwarzschild spacetime.

  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
