Stimulated absorption of single gravitons: First light on quantum gravity
Victoria Shenderov, Mark Kanex, Thomas Beitel +3
In a recent work we showed that the detection of the exchange of a single graviton between a massive quantum resonator and a gravitational wave can be achieved. Key to this ability…

Detecting kHz gravitons from a neutron star merger with a multi-mode resonant mass detector
Germain Tobar, Igor Pikovski, Michael Edmund Tobar
We propose a multi-mode bar consisting of mass elements of decreasing size for the implementation of a gravitational version of the photo-electric effect through the stimulated abs…

Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing
Germain Tobar, Sreenath K. Manikandan, Thomas Beitel +1
The quantization of gravity is widely believed to result in gravitons -- particles of discrete energy that form gravitational waves. But their detection has so far been considered…
