Our research in published in PRL

Our paper "First Search for Ultralight Dark Matter Using a Magnetically Levitated Particle" published on Physical Review Letters. QuCoM members from Leiden University collaborated with a theory group at Rice University on a new search for Ultralight Dark Matter using a magnetically levitating mass. The levitating magnet is a very sensitive force sensor (aN/rtHz regime),…

Our research in published in PRL

Our paper "Measuring Decoherence Due to Quantum Vacuum Fluctuations" published on Physical Review Letters. Vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field vacuum comprise a fundamentally unavoidable environment for a charged particle. Previous works have investigated whether vacuum fluctuations can lead to observable decoherence, when treated as an environment of a charged particle in an open quantum…
