• Abstract: Dark matter (DM) remains undetected, and developing theoretical models such as the promising perfect fluid dark matter (PFDM) is a key challenge in modern cosmology. In this work, we investigate the quantum characteristics of PFDM by analyzing the behavior of quantum entanglement and coherence for both fermionic and bosonic fields near a Schwarzschild black hole embedded in a PFDM halo. Our results reveal that PFDM can either enhance or degrade quantum entanglement and coherence, depending sensitively on its density. Notably, bosonic entanglement shows greater susceptibility to PFDM effects compared to fermionic entanglement, while fermionic coherence exhibits a stronger dependence on PFDM than its bosonic counterpart. These findings highlight the necessity of selecting appropriate quantum probes for DM detection based on the type of quantum resources, as different quantum fields exhibit significantly different responses to PFDM in curved spacetime.

  We present an open quantum systems approach that accomplishes this while providing intuition into the quantum nature of the detection process itself. We show that this theoretical treatment has implications in uncovering signatures of the cosmological production mechanism of the UBDM field.

  How are the scattering between the constituents of matter and the resulting collective phenomena affected by preparing the force carriers in different quantum states? This question has become experimentally relevant in a specific non-relativistic version of QED implemented within materials. We show that by preparing photons in pure Fock states one can enhance pair correlations, and even control the criticality and universality of the superconducting phase transition by the choice of the number of photons.
