Among different models of dark matter, the so-called quantum (or ‘fuzzy’) cold dark matter plays an important role as it allows removing cuspy halo profiles and an abundance of low mass haloes, which are predicted by cold dark matter models but have never been observed. The basic idea of the quantum cold dark matter is the existence of extremely light bosonic particles whose expected masses are of...
