Physicists propose a quantum–optomechanical solution to dark-matter detection

Summary

Nutrition label

90% Informative

The proposed quantum detector builds on EQUS studies of elementary excitations in superfluid helium and advances in opto-mechanics.

The device would provide access to dark matter in the keV mass range, several orders of magnitude less energetic than existing experiments.

It is just one example of the application of sophisticated quantum technologies to precision metrology developed within EQUS 's Quantum Engines and Instruments Program .
