Minerals are solid state nuclear track detectors—nuclear recoils in a mineral leave latent
damage to the crystal structure. Depending on the mineral and its temperature, the damage …

The search for particle-like dark matter with meV-to-GeV masses has developed rapidly in
the past few years. We summarize the science case for these searches, the recent progress …

Next-generation dark matter (DM) detectors searching for weakly interacting massive
particles (WIMPs) will be sensitive to coherent scattering from solar neutrinos, demanding an …

We present a summary of future prospects for direct detection of dark matter within the
GeV/c2 to TeV/c2 mass range. This is paired with a new definition of the neutrino fog in order …

A strained Ge quantum well, grown on a SiGe/Si virtual substrate and hosting two
electrostatically defined hole spin qubits, is nondestructively investigated by synchrotron …

Crystal-strain variation imposes significant limitations on many quantum sensing and
information applications for solid-state defect qubits in diamond. Thus, the precision …

Local crystallographic features negatively affect quantum spin defects by changing the local
electrostatic environment, often resulting in degraded or varied qubit optical and coherence …

Surface electric dynamics influences the quantum coherence of near-surface spin centers
(ie, T 1 and T 2 times) through spatial and temporal fluctuations of the surface charge density …

The second" Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter"(MDvDM'24) meeting was held
January 8-11, 2024 in Arlington, VA, USA, hosted by Virginia Tech's Center for Neutrino …

Nitrogen vacancy centre ensembles are excellent candidates for quantum sensors due to
their vector magnetometry capabilities, deployability at room temperature and simple optical …
