Dark matter is a feebly interacting particle that is thought to compose 85% of the matter content of the Universe. One potential candidate for the dark matter is the axion, a particle so light it exhibits wave-like behavior. At SLAC, we search for axions using ultra-low noise radios immersed in strong magnetic fields. Under these conditions, the axion is expected to create an electromagnetic signal that can read out using sufficiently low noise amplifiers. Recent advancements in the field of quantum information science have enabled the technology to enhance and measure such a weak signal. I will discuss recent progress made by the DMRadio and ADMX collaborations and the role of SLAC in the future of axion searches.
