21. Atom interferometers as particle detectors

Clara Murgui Galvez (CERN)

Atom interferometers are emerging as powerful probes of fundamental physics, with applications ranging from gravitational-wave detection to searches for ultra-light dark matter. In this talk, I will explore a complementary possibility: using atom interferometers as detectors of sub-GeV dark matter. Their extremely low effective energy threshold allows them to probe scattering processes that...

22. Sensing with superconducting parametric amplifiers (closed session)

Dr Gheorghe-Sorin Paraoanu (Aalto University)

In recent years the field of circuit-QED has benefited from the emergence of superconducting parametric amplifiers - in particular, traveling wave parametric amplifiers (TWPAs) have become widely used in the qubit measurement chain. Here I will focus on a series of experiments realized at Aalto using the so-called Josephson parametric amplifiers (JPA). These devices have a rich phase diagram,...
