A quantum-enhanced search for dark matter axions
K. M. Backes, D. A. Palken, S. Al Kenany +21
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…

An improved analysis framework for axion dark matter searches
D. A. Palken, B. M. Brubaker, M. Malnou +17
In experiments searching for axionic dark matter, the use of the standard threshold-based data analysis discards valuable information. We present a Bayesian analysis framework that…

Results from phase 1 of the HAYSTAC microwave cavity axion experiment
L. Zhong, S. Al Kenany, K. M. Backes +18
We report on the results from a search for dark matter axions with the HAYSTAC experiment using a microwave cavity detector at frequencies between 5.6-5.8. We exclude a…
