Direct detection of dark matter聽is one of the highest priorities in science at the moment. Professors Chamkaur Ghag and聽Peter Barker聽have been聽awarded a 拢500,000聽grant following their bid to UKRI's聽Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics聽(QTFP) programme. This success will enable them and their team to search for ultra-light dark matter with levitated quantum opto-mechanical sensors. The QTFP grant will support two聽postdoctoral researchers to develop two different types of sensors.

Professors Chamkaur Ghag and Peter Barker share this success with their PhD students:聽Fiona Alder聽(High Energy Physics group)聽worked with聽Robert James聽(High Energy Physics group) and Jonathan Gosling (Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Positron Physics group).聽聽

Professor Chamkaur Ghag said: 鈥淭he proposal builds on the work we accelerated through the Cosmoparticle Initiative and relies heavily on the excellent work of our PhD students, with Fiona funded through the Cosmoparticle Initiative.鈥澛�

Professor Peter Barker added: 鈥淭he programme builds on our expertise and the equipment support via the Department of聽Physics &聽Astronomy at 新香港六合彩开奖结果as well as our ongoing programme in levitated quantum optomechanics."
