Particles in Penning traps can make excellent quantum sensors for detecting the effects of dark matter.

The main trap in our arsenal, we are currently working on driving two-qubit gates using a linear Paul trap.
Quantum superposition between multiple states is a key feature of quantum mechanics which strongly deviates from classical mechanics.
After Doppler cooling, ions often form Coulomb crystals in the trap. This unusual state of matter allows an assembly of ions to be treated as a single quantum mechanical system.
Since an ion cooled to its ground state in a trap is such a well-controlled and isolated quantum mechanical system, it can show excellent coherence properties.
Now retired, our Penning trap served us for many years allowing us to conduct several experiments.
