Description

The search rate of cryogenic axion cavity search will soon be limited by fundamental quantum fluctuations of the microwave field. In this talk, I will describe how this noise can partially be overcome using quantum squeezing of the microwave field. In contrast to what is often thought to be the case, I will show that it is in principle possible to measure both quadratures of the axion induced microwave field without adding measurement noise.
