A pair of resonant laser fields can drive a three-level system into a dark state where it seizes to absorb and emit radiation due to destructive interference. We propose a scheme to search for this resonance by randomly changing the…

In the direct detection of the galactic dark matter, experiments using cryogenic solid-state detectors or noble liquids play for years a very relevant role, with increasing target mass and more and more complex detection systems. But…
Axion or axionlike particles are one of the leading candidates for dark matter. Because of its tiny coupling with photons, axion dark matter in the background can induce distinct phase velocities for light with different parity, an effect…
