“…Other devices that could benefit from the low-vibration environment provided by CUTE are small-scale gravitational wave detectors, sensitive to frequencies above 1 kHz [31]. Such devices could be sensitive to millisecond pulsars and exotic signatures produced by decays or annihilations of axions [31].…”

Low-temperature cryogenics open the door for a range of interesting technologies based on features like superconductivity and superfluidity, low-temperature phase transitions or the low heat capacity of non-metals in the milli-Kelvin range. Devices based on these technologies are often sensitive to small energy depositions as can be caused by environmental radiation. The Cryogenic Underground TEst facility (CUTE) at SNOLAB is a platform for testing and operating cryogenic devices in an environment with low levels of background. The large experimental chamber (O(10) L) reaches a base temperature of ∼ 12 mK; it can hold a payload of up to ∼ 20 kg and provides a radiogenic background event rate as low as a few events/kg/keV/day in the energy range below about 100 keV, as well as a negligible muon rate (O1)/month). CUTE was designed and built in the context of the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) that uses cryogenic detectors to search for interactions of dark matter particles with ordinary matter. The facility has been used to test SuperCDMS detectors since its commissioning in 2019. In 2021, it was handed over to SNOLAB to become a SNOLAB user facility after the completion of the testing of detectors for SuperCDMS. The facility will be available for projects that benefit from these special conditions, based on proposals assessed for their scientific and technological merits. This article describes the main design features and operating parameters of CUTE.

“…To address bandwidth limitations, future resonant mass detectors for scalar UDM are seeking frequency tunability and array-based detection. Superfluid helium resonators are an attractive option [479], as their resonance frequencies can be tuned by up to 50% via pressurization [480,481]. As discussed in [473], a variety of established table-top cavity optomechanical experiments may also be co-opted into scalar UDM searches (Fig.…”

The last decade has seen unprecedented effort in dark matter model building at all mass scales coupled with the design of numerous new detection strategies. Transformative advances in quantum technologies have led to a plethora of new high-precision quantum sensors and dark matter detection strategies for ultralight (< 10 eV) bosonic dark matter that can be described by an oscillating classical, largely coherent field. This white paper focuses on searches for wavelike scalar and vector dark matter candidates.

“…More generally, the weakness of the interaction with gravitational waves and the resulting smallness of the signal motivates a quantum description. The aforementioned examples for quantum matter may offer certain advantages, e.g., regarding temperature, purity, or experimental control, see also [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

We study the interaction between gravitational waves and quantum matter such as Bose-Einstein condensates, super-fluid Helium, or ultra-cold solids, explicitly taking into account the changes of the trapping potential induced by the gravitational wave. As a possible observable, we consider the change of energy due to the gravitational wave, for which we derive rigorous bounds in terms of kinetic energy and particle number. Finally, we discuss implications for possible experimental tests.
