DESCRIPTION:Dark matter below electronvolt masses remains strikingly unexp
 lored. Axions and dark photons are sought-after targets requiring unconven
 tional techniques for direct detection. Traditional cavity haloscopes deci
 sively probe microwave frequencies but face longstanding obstructions at h
 igher masses. This motivates novel instrumentation including the Broadband
  Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD). BREAD recently pioneere
 d its first science results with pilot runs at Chicago surpassing astrophy
 sical bounds on dark photons by two orders of magnitude. This milestone us
 ing just one month of room-temperature data opens a new dark matter discov
 ery program bridging astroparticle physics with quantum technology.
