Inflation and Reheating by Dynamical Torsion
Xiaolin Ma, Kamil Mudrunka, Kazunori Nakayama
In gravity theories with torsion, inflation can be driven by the dynamical torsion. Since it naturally has a derivative coupling to the axial current consisting of Standard Model p…
Enhanced Dark Matter Quantum Sensing via Geometric Phase
Xiaolin Ma, Jie Sheng
We propose a quantum sensing protocol for coupled qubit-oscillator systems that surpasses the standard quantum limit by exploiting a geometric phase for dark matter searches. Inste…
Earth Matter Enhanced Axion Dark Matter Search
Xiaofei Huang, Xiaolin Ma, Zitong Xu +2
Laboratory searches for ultralight axion dark matter (DM) have traditionally assumed the terrestrial density of axions is equal to the average density of DM in the solar system. Ho…
Cavity, lumped-circuit, and spin-based detection of axion dark matter: differences and similarities
Deniz Aybas, Hendrik Bekker, Dmitry Budker +12
Axions and axion-like particles are compelling candidates for ultralight bosonic dark matter, forming coherent oscillating fields that can be probed by experiments known as halosco…
Dark Matter Search with a Resonantly-Coupled Hybrid Spin System
Kai Wei, Zitong Xu, Yuxuan He +9
Recent advances in tabletop quantum sensor technology have enabled searches for nongravitational interactions of dark matter (DM). Traditional axion DM experiments rely on sharp re…
