- Abstract: We examine the viability of cosmological solution(s) describing a unified
picture of the dark side of the universe from a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC)
of light bosons. The energy density of the BEC, together with its quantum
potential, can indeed account for such a unification, in the sense that the
(dust-like) cold dark matter and the dark energy components emerge from the
same source. In particular, the bulk of the dark energy can be attributed to
the quantum potential, in the quantum corrected Raychaudhuri-Friedmann
equation, when the `macroscopic' BEC wave-function is taken to be such that the
corresponding probability density is construed as the energy density of the
dusty fluid. However, there arises a purely quantum mechanical back-reaction
effect, of even the visible baryons, on the effective dark energy and dark
matter contents, which crucially determines the mass of the BEC. We determine
the constraint on such a back-reaction, and hence on the BEC mass, from
physical considerations, as well as estimate the same using recent
observational data.

Atomic superfluids formed using Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) in a ring trap are being investigated in the context of superfluid hydrodynamics, quantum sensing and matter-wave interferometry.
Recent studies have proposed coupling the ring BEC to optical cavity modes carrying orbital angular momentum to make minimally destructive measurements of the condensate rotation.
We present a detailed theoretical analysis to demonstrate that the use of squeezed light and backaction evasion techniques allows the angular momentum of the condensate to be sensed with noise well below the standard quantum limit.
