Description

Ultra-light (fuzzy) dark matter is a promising alternative to the cold dark matter (CDM) model, as it has the potential to solve some of the small-scale issues of CDM. However, the wave nature of fuzzy dark matter makes it challenging to simulate cosmic structure formation, especially on scales larger than galaxies. In this talk, we review various public packages that can be used to simulate fuzzy dark matter, such as Axionyx, Enzo, and GRChombo for large scale structures. As an example, we numerically show that fuzzy dark matter can solve the final parsec problem of binary supermassive black holes.
