Constraining Ultralight Scalars with Black Hole Binary Mergers in Galactic Nuclei
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +2
Ultralight scalars can form long-lived, macroscopic bound states around spinning black holes, known as superradiance clouds. These clouds provide an additional channel for energy d…
Minimal Proton-Mass Dark Matter
Majed Khalaf, Eric Kuflik, Alessandro Lenoci +2
We present a minimal dark matter scenario: a single complex scalar carrying baryon and lepton number, with no new exact stabilizing symmetry. Its leading interaction is a dimension…
Probing Dark Matter-Electron Interactions with Superconducting Qubits
Yonit Hochberg, Majed Khalaf, Noah Kurinsky +2
Quantum device measurements are powerful tools to probe dark matter interactions. Among these, transmon qubits stand out for their ability to suppress external noise while remainin…
