Large Scale Quantum Detectors
This collection welcomes experimental and theoretical papers exploring detectors using quantum technology to explore aspects of fundamental physics such as gravitation, gravitational waves, extensions of the Standard Model, dark matter and dark energy. It will emphasize the developing international landscape of large-scale atom interferometers in support of the workshop on Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry. Other topics are the detection of dark matter candidates based on interactions with quantum materials and devices that could help constrain or set new limits on the types of dark matter candidates (especially “wave-like” candidates) and their interaction mechanisms and coupling strengths with conventional matter. The collection may also include some contributions on related or complementary approaches (such as those based on superfluids and Bose condensates), and broader discussions on the applications of novel quantum devices for precision or sensitive measurements for nuclear/particle physics, astrophysics/cosmology and other fundamental physics investigations.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Large scale atom interferometers
- Dark matter
- Gravitational waves
- Axions
- Quantum materials
