Description
As large-volume experiments scale up, alternative quantum detection methods are being pursued, including searches that take advantage of quantum coherence. These experiments can have sensitivities scaling quadratically with the size of the experiment, as opposed to the linear scaling of large underground experiments. I discuss the theory behind one such experiment, CATCHY, which searches for dark photons via spontaneous two-photon superradiance of a large coherent volume of parahydrogen.
