DESCRIPTION:When properly engineered\, simple quantum systems such as 
 harmonic oscillators or spins can be excellent detectors of feeble forces 
 and fields. Following a general introduction to this fast growing area of 
 research I will focus on using optomechanical systems as sensors of weak 
 acceleration and strain fields. Ultralight dark matter coupling to 
 standard model fields and particles would produce a coherent strain or 
 acceleration signal in an elastic solid. I will discuss the feasibility of
  searching for this signal using various optomechanical systems. I will 
 also show that current mechanical systems have the sensitivity to set new 
 constraints on scalar field candidates for dark energy. Finally\, I will 
 briefly overview the promise of quantum noise limited detectors in the 
 search for beyond the standard model physics.\n\nhttps://agenda.hepl.phys.
