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…

Ponderomotive Effects of Ultralight Dark Matter
Kevin Zhou
I exhibit a new class of quadratic effects of ultralight dark matter. Axions, dark photons, and dilatons can exert rapidly oscillating forces, torques, and mass shifts on Standard…

The surprising subtlety of electrostatic field lines
Kevin Zhou, Tomas Brauner
Electric fields are commonly visualized with field line diagrams, which only unambiguously specify the field's direction. We consider two simple questions. First, can one deduce if…
