Description:

Abstract:

A single trapped electron cooled to its cyclotron ground state-- the quantum cyclotron -- is the precision tool that we recently used to test the Standard Model more stringently than ever before.  The electron magnetic moment was determined to nearly 1 part in 10^{13} to test the Standard Model's most precise prediction.  We also demonstrated that the single electron is a sensitive, background-free detector for milli-eV dark matter, setting a 75 times more stringent limit on 0.6 meV dark photon dark matter.  The search will be described, followed by ideas for searching a broad energy range in a purpose-built experiment.
