DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Nicholas Rodd (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab)\n\nIn
  this talk I will outline a fundamentally quantum description of bosonic d
 ark matter from which the conventional classical-wave picture emerges when
  the mass is far below 10 eV. Exploiting fundamental results from quantum 
 optics I will argue that the density matrix for dark matter is explicitly 
 mixed. The formalism provides a continuous description of DM through the w
 ave-particle transition\, and using this I show how density fluctuations o
 ver various physical scales evolve between the two limits\, with a unique 
 behavior for DM emerging near the boundary of the wave and particle descri
 ptions. If time permits\, I will briefly describe how these effects would 
 appear in axion haloscopes.\n\nhttps://events.perimeterinstitute.ca/event/
