As QuantISED enters its next phase in its effort to develop quantum technologies capable of exploring some of the universe’s biggest unanswered questions, scientists reflect on what the first round made possible and what comes next.
This event is free, open to all, and family-friendly hosted by Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIPAC) at Stanford University, Science & Engineering Quad.
The deep-underground experiment could produce early-scientific results in the search for one of nature’s most elusive substances even, before reaching optimal sensitivity when the full search begins next year.
The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment observed a particle interaction that could be interpreted as a signal from WIMPs, a dark matter candidate – but researchers will need more data to confirm.
