University of Strathclyde researchers are partners in a project which will use cutting-edge quantum technologies to transform understanding of the universe and answer key questions on the nature of dark matter.
The international Quantum Interferometry (QI) collaboration aims to search for dark matter and for quantum aspects of space-time with quantum technologies
The project will build four table-top experiments which will enable the exploration of new parameter spaces of interaction between photons and dark matter. It will also seek answers to a long-standing research question: how can gravity be united with the other fundamental forces?
The consortium is led by the University of Cardiff and also includes the Universities of Birmingham, Glasgow and Warwick in the UK, MIT, Caltech, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and Fermilab in the US and DESY and AEI Hannover in Germany.
