Description

We propose a method for detecting single chiral phonons and their use as directional dark-matter detectors with O(meV) energy thresholds. This detection mechanism would be capable of exploring a multitude of unprobed dark-matter candidates as well as serve as a quantum sensor that can open up new directions in precision measurements for experimental physics.
