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…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run

J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244

LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…

Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +258

We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…

Atomic Structure of Amorphous Optical Coatings of TiO-doped GeO by Grazing-Incidence Total X-ray Scattering Measurements

K. Prasai, J. Jiang, K. Lee +13

Reducing coating thermal noise in future gravitational-wave detectors requires identifying the atomic motifs that control mechanical loss in amorphous optical coatings. We combine…
