We report on a search for axion dark matter in the frequency range near 5.9 GHz, conducted using the haloscope technique. The experiment employed an 8-cell microwave resonator designed to extend the accessible frequency range by a…

In dark matter axion searches, quantum uncertainty manifests as a fundamental noise source, limiting the measurement of the quadrature observables used for detection. We use vacuum squeezing to circumvent the quantum limit in a search for a…

The axion is a compelling hypothetical particle that could account for the dark matter in our universe, while simultaneously explaining why quark interactions within the neutron do not appear to give rise to an electric dipole moment. The…
