Dark matter below electronvolt masses remains strikingly unexplored. Axions and dark photons are sought-after targets requiring unconventional techniques for direct detection. Traditional cavity haloscopes decisively probe microwave frequencies but face longstanding obstructions at higher masses. This motivates novel instrumentation including the Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion Detection (BREAD). BREAD recently pioneered its first science results with pilot runs at Chicago surpassing astrophysical bounds on dark photons by two orders of magnitude. This milestone using just one month of room-temperature data opens a new dark matter discovery program bridging astroparticle physics with quantum technology.
