The sensitive measurement of the electromagnetic field plays a crucial role in many high-energy physics (HEP) experiments, including, the measurement of the coupling of ultralight dark matter (DM) candidates, including, axions and dark photons, to the electromagnetic sector. The goal of this project is to investigate the fundamental limits of sensing and to develop experimental proposals to reach these limits in parameter regimes relevant for ultralight dark matter searches. Furthermore, optimal detection schemes for new candidates for DM are to be explored.
