Cosmological Simulation for Fuzzy Dark Matter Model

2019 
Fuzzy Dark Matter (FDM), motivated by string theory, has recently become a hot candidate for dark matter. The rest mass of FDM is believed to be $\sim 10^{-22}\ev$ and the corresponding de-Broglie wave length is $\sim 1\kpc$. Therefore, the quantum effect of FDM plays an important role in structure formation. In order to study the cosmological structure formation in FDM model, several simulation techniques have been introduced. We review the current status and challenges in the cosmological simulation for the FDM model in this paper.
