Amplified transduction of Planck-scale effects using quantum optics
Pasquale Bosso, Saurya Das, Igor Pikovski +1
The unification of quantum mechanics and gravity remains as one of the primary challenges of present-day physics. Quantum-gravity-inspired phenomenological models offer a window to…
General relativistic effects in quantum interference of "clocks"
Magdalena Zych, Igor Pikovski, Fabio Costa +1
Quantum mechanics and general relativity have been each successfully tested in numerous experiments. However, the regime where both theories are jointly required to explain physica…
Detecting continuous gravitational waves with superfluid He
S. Singh, L. A. De Lorenzo, I. Pikovski +1
Direct detection of gravitational waves is opening a new window onto our universe. Here, we study the sensitivity to continuous-wave strain fields of a kg-scale optomechanical syst…
Gravitational wave detection with optical lattice atomic clocks
Shimon Kolkowitz, Igor Pikovski, Nicholas Langellier +3
We propose a space-based gravitational wave detector consisting of two spatially separated, drag-free satellites sharing ultra-stable optical laser light over a single baseline. Ea…
Quantum and Classical Phases in Optomechanics
Federico Armata, Ludovico Latmiral, Igor Pikovski +3
The control of quantum systems requires the ability to change and read-out the phase of a system. The non-commutativity of canonical conjugate operators can induce phases on quantu…
Probing anharmonicity of a quantum oscillator in an optomechanical cavity
Ludovico Latmiral, Federico Armata, Marco G. Genoni +2
We present a way of measuring with high precision the anharmonicity of a quantum oscillator coupled to an optical field via radiation pressure. Our protocol uses a sequence of puls…
