Title: Probing meV Dark Matter with Rydberg Atoms and Electro-Optics


Abstract: In this talk, we will explore novel approaches for detecting ultralight dark matter candidates in the meV mass range. Rydberg atoms serve as single photon detectors, while electro-optical materials serve as sensors for coherent electric fields. Using precision experiments based on these systems, we can directly probe potential electromagnetic interactions of ultralight dark matter here on Earth.
