MAGIS-100 is a next-generation quantum sensor under construction at Fermilab that aims to explore fundamental physics with atom interferometry over a 100-meter baseline. This novel detector will search for ultralight dark matter, test quantum mechanics in new regimes, and serve as a technology pathfinder for future gravitational wave detectors in a previously unexplored frequency band. It combines techniques demonstrated in state-of-the-art 10-meter-scale atom interferometers with the latest technological advances of the world's best atomic clocks. MAGIS-100 will provide a development platform for a future kilometer-scale detector that would be sufficiently sensitive to detect gravitational waves from known sources. Here we present the science case for the MAGIS concept, review the operating principles of the detector, describe the instrument design, and study the detector systematics.

    astro-ph.IM 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    The Bedretto tunnel's ~4000 m.w.e. depth, low muon flux, and very low seismic/magnetic noise make it a strong candidate for a European deep-underground physics laboratory.

  6. Matter-Wave Interferometers as Open-System Dark Matter Detectors

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The paper formulates dark matter detection in matter-wave interferometers as an open-system problem using Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory, revealing channel asymmetries and Bose/Pauli factors for elastic scattering.

  7. Ultralight Dilatonic Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Supersymmetry can stabilize an ultralight dilaton dark matter candidate, but gravity restricts its Standard Model couplings to undetectable levels, making consistent model building involved.

  8. Characterisation of a strontium cold atom source using fluorescence spectroscopy and time-of-flight

    physics.atom-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    At push saturation 0.45 a strontium 2D-MOT source delivers about 1.5–1.7×10^8 capturable atoms/s below 30 m/s, with unidirectional-probe data scaled by a simulation factor to match counter-propagating results.
