This proposal details a significant scaling of atom interferometry techniques at CERN to detect ultralight dark matter and low-frequency gravitational waves, representing a major advancement in quantum sensing infrastructure. By extending the experimental baseline to 100 meters, the AICE facility aims to probe mass ranges currently inaccessible to other experiments, pushing the boundaries of precision measurement using atomic wave properties.

Researchers Propose Atom Interferometer for Dark Matter Search

Quantum Zeitgeist3 min read

Technical Proposal for the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment (AICE) Facility Scaling existing strontium gradiometer architectures to a roughly 100-metre baseline, this facility proposes a new approach to detecting ultralight dark matter and exploring gravitational waves between 0. 03, 3Hz. Located within CERN’s PX46 access shaft, it aims to probe mass ranges currently inaccessible to other experiments.

A roughly 100m baseline for vertical atom interferometry is now realised through the Atom Interferometer CERN Experiment, or AICE. Previous experiments like VLBAI, MAGIS and the AION-10 Technical Design Report have laid groundwork, however this facility scales strontium gradiometer architecture to an unprecedented length. This new configuration at CERN detects bosonic ultralight dark matter and explores gravitational waves between…
