Search for New Physics with Atoms and Molecules

TLDR
In this article, the authors present a review of the application of atomic physics to address important challenges in physics and to look for variations in the fundamental constants, search for interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics and test the principles of general relativity.
Abstract
Advances in atomic physics, such as cooling and trapping of atoms and molecules and developments in frequency metrology, have added orders of magnitude to the precision of atom-based clocks and sensors. Applications extend beyond atomic physics and this article reviews using these new techniques to address important challenges in physics and to look for variations in the fundamental constants, search for interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics, and test the principles of general relativity.

The Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger were reported in this paper, with a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203,000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ.

AEDGE: Atomic experiment for dark matter and gravity exploration in space

Yousef Abou El-Neaj, +139 more
TL;DR: The Atomic Experiment for Dark Matter and Gravity Exploration (AEDGE) as mentioned in this paper is a space experiment using cold atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, and to detect gravitational waves in the frequency range between the most sensitive ranges of LISA and the terrestrial LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA/INDIGO experiments.

AION: An Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network

TL;DR: AION (Atom Interferometer Observatory and Network) as mentioned in this paper is a proposed UK-based experimental program using cold strontium atoms to search for ultra-light dark matter, to explore gravitational waves in the mid-frequency range between the peak sensitivities of the LISA and LIGO/Virgo/ KAGRA/INDIGO-Einstein Telescope/Cosmic Explorer experiments, and to probe other frontiers in fundamental physics.
