• Abstract: These notes summarize lectures given at the 2019 Les Houches summer school on Quantum Information Machines. They describe and review an application of quantum metrology concepts to searches for ultralight dark matter. In particular, for ultralight dark matter that couples as a weak classical force to a laboratory harmonic oscillator, quantum squeezing benefits experiments in which the mass of the dark matter particle is unknown. This benefit is present even if the oscillatory dark matter signal is much more coherent than the harmonic oscillator that it couples to, as is the case for microwave frequency searches for dark matter axion particles.

• Dark Exciton Giant Rabi Oscillations with no External Magnetic Field [0.0]
  We study a system consisting of a semiconductor quantum dot pumped by a driving laser, and coupled to an acoustic cavity. This kind of systems has proven to yield interesting multi-phonon phenomena, but the description of the quantum dot has been limited to a two-level system. We highlight two outstanding features: first, we are able to create dark states excitations in the quantum dot without the usual external magnetic field needed to do so.

  We study the effects of cavity mediated long range magnetic interactions and optical lattices in ultracold matter.

• Light emission is fundamentally tied to the quantum coherence of the emitting particle [0.0]
  We show that even in seemingly classical experimental regimes, light emission is tied to quantum properties of the emitting particles. By employing quantum electrodynamics, we unveil the role of the particle's coherent momentum uncertainty. We find instead that the shockwave's duration is fundamentally bound from below by the particle's coherent momentum uncertainty.

  We demonstrate how quantum time dilation manifests in a spontaneous emission process. The resulting emission rate differs when compared to the emission rate of an atom prepared in a mixture of momentum wave packets. We argue that spectroscopic experiments offer a technologically feasible platform to explore the effects of quantum time dilation.
