Description
In this talk, I will highlight the advantages of quantum sensors in probing motivated regions of paramter space that remain inaccessible to classical detectors. I will focus on table-top atom interferometers, many of which are already operating on Earth, and their potential to track interactions with particles in the environment by using the quantum properties of coherence and decoherence. In particular, I will discuss how sub-GeV dark matter is especially well-suited for detection with these devides. I will also show how coherently enhanced decoherence could be tested experimentally in the laboratory and outline additional phenomenological applications.
