Abstract
In this paper the authors discuss how multiple upcoming axion experiments can be coordinated to extract additional information through interferometry. If dark matter is a sufficiently light axion-like particle, it's macroscopic wavelength could allow two (or more) detectors to determine the local dark matter velocity, a potentially important consideration for the design of these searches.
