We will investigate the phenomenological implications of the stochastic nature of ultralight dark matter (ULDM). Namely, we study the experimental consequences in the context of a non-Maxwellian velocity distribution, and also evaluate higher order correlations originating from the stochastic nature of ULDM. We further discuss the coherence properties of a dynamically bound ULDM solar halo. Aside from ULDM, we evaluate the sensitivity of a proposed nuclear clock to stochastic spatial variations of the coupling strength of the strong interactions.
