The axion is a well-motivated dark matter candidate that was originally proposed to solve the Strong CP problem. The talk presents the development of a dielectric Fabry-Perot cavity haloscope within the Imperial College Quantum enhanced Particle Astrophysics (QuEPA) project. Our approach is optimised to search for axion dark matter in the 125–250 µeV mass range (30–60 GHz) via photon...
Atom interferometry utilizes matter-wave quantum interference. Different quantum states of an ultracold atom ensemble follow different free-fall trajectories through spacetime and experience the spatial and temporal variations of the gravitational potential. Variations in the gravitational field are encoded in the resulting matter-wave interference pattern. With the precise control of quantum...
