The axion is a hypothetical low-mass boson predicted by the Peccei-Quinn mechanism solving the strong CP problem. It is naturally also a cold dark matter candidate if its mass is below ∼1 meV, thus simultaneously solving two major problems of nature. All existing experimental efforts to detect QCD axions focus on a range of axion masses below ∼25 μeV. The mass range above ∼40 μeV, predicted by modern models in which the Peccei-Quinn symmetry was restored after inflation, could not be explored…

Vacuum squeezing is used to circumvent the quantum limit in a search for dark matter by preparing a microwave-frequency electromagnetic field in a squeezed state and near-noiselessly reading out only the squeezed quadrature, which doubles the search rate for axions over a mass range favoured by some recent theoretical projections.

The cumulative emission of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) from all past core-collapse supernovae (SNe) would lead to a diffuse flux with energies ${\mathcal O}(50)$ MeV. We use this to constrain ALPs
