Asimina Arvanitaki, Masha Baryakhtar, Karl Berggren, Ilya Charaev, Jeff Chiles, Marco Colangelo, Andrew Dane, Junwu Huang, Robert Lasenby, Sae Woo Nam, Ken Van Tillburg and Varun Verma In recent years, the development of fast and low-dark-count single-photon detectors for photonic quantum information applications promise a radical improvement in our capacity to search for dark matter. The advent of superconducting nanowire detectors, which have fewer than 10 dark counts per day and have demonstrated sensitivity from the mid-infrared to the ultraviolet wavelength band, provides an opportunity to search for bosonic dark matter in the neighborhood of 1 eV. We present recent theoretical and experimental progress in this direction.
