Description
The axion is one of the most promising dark matter candidates. Since
the axion is a very light particle, its quantum effects are very strong. For example,
the interaction between the axion dark matter and detectors is subject to large
corrections due to coherence effects and stimulated emission effects. In this talk I
will discuss how these quantum effects affect the direct detection of the axion dark
matter.
