Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is a dark matter candidate consisting of ultra-light scalar particles with masses around $10^{-22} \mathrm{eV}/c^2$, a regime where cold bosonic matter behaves as a collective wave rather than individual particles.…

The fuzzy dark matter (FDM) model treats DM as a bosonic field with astrophysically large de Broglie wavelength. A striking feature of this model is $\mathcal{O}(1)$ fluctuations in the dark matter density on time scales which are shorter…
