This is the crucial component that takes the impossibly faint signal from a dark matter detector and makes it loud enough to hear on the radiofrequency spectrum.

Why search for dark matter?
Researchers at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have described dark matter as “the invisible glue that holds the universe together.”
These amplifiers, Boutan noted, are key to doing fast readout of superconducting qubits.
