Description
We will discuss an experiment for searching axions and axion-like-particles in the galactic halo using quantum-enhanced interferometry. This setup will search for axions in the mass range from 10−16 eV up to 10−12 eV using an optical cavity. The sensitivity will be enhanced using squeezed states of light similar to the gravitational-wave detectors. The proposed experiment has the potential to be further scaled up to a multi-km long detector. I will discuss the current status and future plans of the experiment.
