Matter-Wave Interferometers as Open-System Dark Matter Detectors

Leonardo Badurina, Kathryn M. Zurek

Matter-wave interferometers (MWIs) offer a uniquely quantum route to dark matter (DM) detection: DM can reveal itself through phase and decoherence between spatially separated wave…

Ultralight dark matter detection with trapped-ion interferometry

Leonardo Badurina, Diego Blas, John Ellis +1

We explore how recent advances in the manipulation of single-ion wave packets open new avenues for detecting weak magnetic fields sourced by ultralight dark matter. A trapped ion i…

Detecting gravitational signatures of dark matter with atom gradiometers

Leonardo Badurina, Yufeng Du, Vincent S. H. Lee +2

We study the purely gravitational signatures of dark matter from the ultralight to the ultraheavy mass range in proposed long-baseline atom gradiometers, focusing on terrestrial de…

Super-Nyquist ultralight dark matter searches with broadband atom gradiometers

Leonardo Badurina, Ankit Beniwal, Christopher McCabe

Atom gradiometers have emerged as compelling broadband probes of scalar ultralight dark matter (ULDM) candidates that oscillate with frequencies between approximately Hz…

Ultralight dark matter searches at the sub-Hz frontier with atom multigradiometry

Leonardo Badurina, Valerie Gibson, Christopher McCabe +1

Single-photon atom gradiometry is a powerful experimental technique that can be employed to search for the oscillation of atomic transition energies induced by ultralight scalar da…
