New Results from HAYSTAC's Phase II Operation with a Squeezed State Receiver

HAYSTAC Collaboration, M. J. Jewell, A. F. Leder +26

A search for dark matter axions with masses has been performed using the HAYSTAC experiment's squeezed state receiver to achieve sub-quantum limited noise. This rep…

A self-locking Rydberg atom electric field sensor

C. T. Fancher, K. Nicolich, K. Backes +7

A crucial step towards enabling real-world applications for quantum sensing devices such as Rydberg atom electric field sensors is reducing their size, weight, power, and cost (SWa…

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…

Design and Operational Experience of a Microwave Cavity Axion Detector for the 20-100 micro-eV Range

S. Al Kenany, M. A. Anil, K. M. Backes +17

We describe a dark matter axion detector designed, constructed, and operated both as an innovation platform for new cavity and amplifier technologies and as a data pathfinder in th…
