Branching of quasinormal modes for nearly extremal Kerr black holes
Huan Yang, Fan Zhang, Aaron Zimmerman +3
We show that nearly extremal Kerr black holes have two distinct sets of quasinormal modes, which we call zero-damping modes (ZDMs) and damped modes (DMs). The ZDMs exist for all ha…
First-Order Perturbative Hamiltonian Equations of Motion for a Point Particle Orbiting a Schwarzschild Black Hole
Huan Yang, Haixing Miao, Yanbei Chen
We formulate a spherical harmonically decomposed 1+1 scheme to self-consistently evolve the trajectory of a point particle and its gravitational metric perturbation to a Schwarzsch…
Macroscopic Quantum Mechanics in a Classical Spacetime
Huan Yang, Haixing Miao, Da-Shin Lee +2
We apply the many-particle Schrödinger-Newton equation, which describes the co-evolution of an many-particle quantum wave function and a classical space-time geometry, to macroscop…
Brownian Thermal Noise in Multilayer Coated Mirrors
Ting Hong, Huan Yang, Eric K. Gustafson +2
We analyze the Brownian thermal noise of a multi-layer dielectric coating, used in high-precision optical measurements including interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. We as…
Quasinormal-mode spectrum of Kerr black holes and its geometric interpretation
Huan Yang, David A. Nichols, Fan Zhang +3
There is a well-known, intuitive geometric correspondence between high-frequency QNMs of Schwarzschild black holes and null geodesics that reside on the light-ring : the real part…
Quantum back-action in measurements of zero-point mechanical oscillations
Farid Ya. Khalili, Haixing Miao, Huan Yang +3
Measurement-induced back action, a direct consequence of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, is the defining feature of quantum measurements. We use quantum measurement theory to…
