Observing and evading quantum back-action on a kilogram-scale oscillator

Begüm Kabagöz, Eric Oelker, Dhruva Ganapathy +203

Continuous quantum displacement measurements are fundamentally limited by a trade-off between readout imprecision and measurement back-action, constrained by the Heisenberg uncerta…

Optimized Quantum States for Sensing in the Presence of Loss and Phase Noise

Shruti Maliakal, Zachary Mann, Christopher Wipf +3

Squeezed vacuum lets gravitational-wave detectors and other quantum sensors surpass the standard quantum limit, and is optimal in the loss-limited regime; phase noise breaks this o…

Microseismic Noise Mitigation with Machine Learning for Advanced LIGO

Christina Reissel, Devin Lai, Shivanshu Dwivedi +9

The unprecedented sensitivity of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, which enables the detection of distant astrophysical sources, also renders the detectors h…

Squeezing the quantum noise of a gravitational-wave detector below the standard quantum limit

Wenxuan Jia, Victoria Xu, Kevin Kuns +168

Precision measurements of space and time, like those made by the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), are often confronted with fundamental…
