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…

Quantum State Characterization of Gravitational Waves via Graviton Counting Statistics
Kristian Toccacelo, Thomas Beitel, Ulrik Lund Andersen +1
Although gravitational waves are now routinely observed, the detection of individual gravitons has long been regarded as impossible. Recent work, however, has demonstrated that sin…

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…
