- Abstract: Recently, it was shown by Danielson-Satishchandran-Wald (DSW) that for the massive or charged body in a quantum spatial separated superposition state, the presence of a black hole can decohere the superposition inevitably towards capturing the radiation of soft photons or gravitons. In this work, we study the DSW decoherence effect for the static charged body in the Reissner-Nordstr\"om black holes. By calculating the decohering rate for this case, it is shown that the superposition is decohered by the low frequency photons that propagate through the black hole horizon. For the extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole, the decoherence of quantum superposition is completely suppressed due to the black hole Meissner effect.

Current constraints on the existence of dark photons with masses below MHz are predominantly set by cosmological or astrophysical limits.
Here, we demonstrate a network of 15 atomic magnetometers, which are synchronized with the Global Positioning System (GPS) and are situated on the edges of two meter-scale shielded rooms.
Using this network, we constrain the kinetic mixing coefficient of dark photon dark matter over the mass range 1-500 Hz, which gives the strongest constraint of a terrestrial experiment within this mass window.

We show that if a massive body is put in a quantum superposition of spatially separated states, the mere presence of a black hole in the vicinity of the body will eventually destroy the coherence of the superposition.
This occurs because, in effect, the gravitational field of the body radiates soft gravitons into the black hole, allowing the black hole to acquire "which path" information about the superposition.
