Suppressed Quantum Effects of Weakly Coupled Waves
Yunjia Bao, Dhong Yeon Cheong, Nicholas L. Rodd +3
Precision experiments increasingly target weakly coupled waves, including axion dark matter and gravitational radiation. Such waves are commonly described as classical fields, yet…

Intrinsically Quantum Effects of Axion Dark Matter are Undetectable
Yunjia Bao, Dhong Yeon Cheong, Nicholas L. Rodd +3
Is the usual treatment of axion dark matter as a classical field reliable? We show that the answer is subtle: the axion field could well be in a quantum state that has no complete…

A Quantum Description of Wave Dark Matter
Dhong Yeon Cheong, Nicholas L. Rodd, Lian-Tao Wang
We outline a fundamentally quantum description of bosonic dark matter (DM) from which the conventional classical-wave picture emerges in the limit . As approp…
