The quantum conception of light consisting of particles of discrete energy, or photons, underlies its interaction with matter. New Dimensions on the Interaction of Light and Matter: Quantum Materials, Quantum Light, and Quantum Control Particularly, I will examine a proposal to use atom interferometers to detect a light dark matter subcomponent at sub-GeV masses through quantum decoherence, and will present a novel technique for detecting axions or axion-like particles with optomechanical cavities. I will present new ideas for seeking light dark matter candidates by exploiting synergies with developing technologies in tabletop experiments. Although current direct detection experiments based on nuclear recoil have reached outstanding sensitivities, light dark matter models with particle mass below the GeV scale are still largely unconstrained.

One of such allotropes is γ-graphyne,Ĭontinue reading… Valentin O. Advances in the synthesis of nonbenzenoid and sp1-containing allotropes have been especially limited. However, few of these materials have been realized experimentally. Several hundred crystalline carbon phases have been theoretically predicted to date. This complexity extends to elemental carbon.
