A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891
We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…
Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +894
In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In orde…
Methods and results of a search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts using the GEO600, LIGO, and Virgo detectors
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +889
In this paper we report on a search for short-duration gravitational wave bursts in the frequency range 64 Hz-1792 Hz associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), using data from GEO60…
Experimental Passive Decoy-State Quantum Key Distribution
Qi-Chao Sun, Wei-Long Wang, Yang Liu +8
The decoy-state method is widely used in practical quantum key distribution systems to replace ideal single photon sources with realistic light sources by varying intensities. Inst…
Improved Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from 2009-2010 LIGO and Virgo Data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +846
Gravitational waves from a variety of sources are predicted to superpose to create a stochastic background. This background is expected to contain unique information from throughou…
First all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown sources in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +849
We present the first results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from unknown spinning neutron stars in binary systems using LIGO and Virgo data. Using a specia…
Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901
We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…
Search for gravitational radiation from intermediate mass black hole binaries in data from the second LIGO-Virgo joint science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +847
This paper reports on an unmodeled, all-sky search for gravitational waves from merging intermediate mass black hole binaries (IMBHB). The search was performed on data from the sec…
A Scanning, All-Fiber Sagnac Interferometer for High Resolution Magneto-Optic Measurements at 820 nm
Alexander Fried, Martin Fejer, Aharon Kapitulnik
The Sagnac Interferometer has historically been used for detecting non-reciprocal phenomena, such as rotation. We demonstrate an apparatus in which this technique is employed for h…
Nonlinear interaction between two heralded single photons
T. Guerreiro, A. Martin, B. Sanguinetti +7
Harnessing nonlinearities strong enough to allow two single photons to interact with one another is not only a fascinating challenge but is central to numerous advanced application…
Search for gravitational wave ringdowns from perturbed intermediate mass black holes in LIGO-Virgo data from 2005-2010
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +849
We report results from a search for gravitational waves produced by perturbed intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) in data collected by LIGO and Virgo between 2005 and 2010. The se…
The NINJA-2 project: Detecting and characterizing gravitational waveforms modelled using numerical binary black hole simulations
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, 2 Collaboration +888
The Numerical INJection Analysis (NINJA) project is a collaborative effort between members of the numerical relativity and gravitational-wave astrophysics communities. The purpose…
