Description
The QCD axion is a well-motivated dark matter candidate arising from both the strong CP problem and cosmology. Recent advances in haloscope experiments and quantum-limited microwave detection have substantially expanded the search sensitivity toward the QCD axion parameter space. In this talk, I will review the current status of axion dark matter searches and present recent experimental results. I will also discuss future directions beyond conventional haloscopes, including challenges in the high-frequency regime, emerging quantum-enabled detection concepts, and opportunities to probe unexplored parameter space.
