Direct Measurement of the Singlet Lifetime and Photoexcitation Behavior of the Boron Vacancy Center in Hexagonal Boron Nitride
Richard A. Escalante, Andrew J. Beling, Daniel G. Ang +9
Optically active spin defects in van der Waals (vdW) materials are a promising platform for quantum sensing, potentially enabling shorter standoff distances than defects in diamond…
Measuring Pulsar Distances from Chirping Orbital Periods
Brady Egleston, Reza Ebadi, Ronald Walsworth
The observed orbital period time derivative (or orbital "chirp") of a millisecond binary pulsar (MSP) encodes information about both the intrinsic properties of the binary system a…
LISA double white dwarf binaries as Galactic accelerometers
Reza Ebadi, Vladimir Strokov, Erwin H. Tanin +2
Galactic double white dwarf (DWD) binaries are among the guaranteed sources for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), an upcoming space-based gravitational wave (GW) detec…
GALILEO: Galactic Axion Laser Interferometer Leveraging Electro-Optics
Reza Ebadi, David E. Kaplan, Surjeet Rajendran +1
We propose a novel experimental method for probing light dark matter candidates. We show that an electro-optical material's refractive index is modified in the presence of a cohere…
Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter 2025 Proceedings
Shigenobu Hirose, Patrick Stengel, Natsue Abe +70
The third ``Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter'' (MDDM'25) meeting was held May 20-23, 2025 in Yokohama, Japan, hosted by the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences,…
High Resolution Temperature-Resolved Spectroscopy of the Nitrogen Vacancy Singlet State Ionization Energy
Kristine V. Ung, Connor A. Roncaioli, Ronald L. Walsworth +1
The negatively charged diamond nitrogen-vacancy () center plays a central role in many cutting edge quantum sensing applications; despite this, much is still unkno…
