Probing dark matter and fast radio bursts through computational physics and quantum symmetries

Particle physics models of dark matter (DM) are plentiful, diverse, and wide ranging in their complexity. In this talk, we will overview a recently proposed DM model that is motivated from simple principles yet predicts a rich interacting theory with Standard Model photons. We will then discuss how these interactions can potentially explain anomalous electromagnetic signals in astrophysics, such as fast radio bursts, and describe the role computational physics plays in constraining the model parameters.
