Detector Correlations and Null Tests of the Coherent State Hypothesis
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
We discuss the statistics of correlations between two resonant detectors. We show that this allows simple null tests of the coherent state hypothesis, free of vacuum (quantum) nois…

Complementary Probes of Gravitational Radiation States
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
We demonstrate that the statistical fluctuations in resonant radiation detectors operating in homodyne and heterodyne modes offers additional, complementary information to that obt…

Probing Quantum Structure in Gravitational Radiation
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
Gravitational radiation from known astrophysical sources is conventionally treated classically. This treatment corresponds, implicitly, to the hypothesis that a particular class of…
