  "abstract": "Ultralight bosons are well-motivated candidates for physics beyond the Standard Model and may constitute part or all of the dark matter. Black-hole superradiance provides a powerful means of probing these particles through their gravitational interaction with rotating black holes. This mechanism has motivated a growing body of constraints from electromagnetic measurements of black-hole spins and, more recently, gravitational-wave observations. Gravitational-wave probes draw on several distinct signatures: the spins of merging binary black holes, gravitational radiation emitted by boson clouds, and potential imprints of cloud-induced changes to binary dynamics. The interpretation of these probes depends on method-specific astrophysical and theoretical assumptions, including black hole formation, natal spin, age, accretion history, population priors, and boson self-interactions. In this paper, we review the principal electromagnetic and gravitational-wave constraints derived from black-hole superradiance, with particular emphasis on their underlying assumptions and systematic uncertainties. The distinct observational signatures and systematic uncertainties of these approaches offer complementary perspectives on the viability of ultralight-boson models. In particular, their overlapping coverage around boson masses of $10^{-13}$-$10^{-12}$ eV makes this region particularly informative for comparing constraints, with attention to the assumptions underlying each result.",
