Description
Dark matter direct detection has seen a surge of progress in the mass window of 1 MeV - 1 GeV, however very-light but particle light dark matter remains a stubbornly elusive target. In this talk I will explain a detection strategy using "recoilless" quantum observables that are accessible via interferometry. These observables allow one to access particle-like dark matter all the way down to the ~5 eV limit where wave-like phenomena begin to dominate.
