Description
Recent theoretical calculations have shown that it is possible to
attempt the direct detection of dark matter in the laboratory through
its gravitational interaction alone. This is particularly relevant
around the well-motivated Planck mass scale (22 micro-g or $10^{19}$ GeV).
The Windchime collaboration is working on arrays of mechanical
accelerometers with quantum-enhanced readout to ultimately achieve this
goal. In this talk, I will present the idea of Windchime, our recent
prototype setup, sensor development, and simulation and analysis frameworks.
