Observing and evading quantum back-action on a kilogram-scale oscillator

Begüm Kabagöz, Eric Oelker, Dhruva Ganapathy +203

Continuous quantum displacement measurements are fundamentally limited by a trade-off between readout imprecision and measurement back-action, constrained by the Heisenberg uncerta…

Singly resonant InGaP microresonators for efficient, low-threshold second-order nonlinear optics

Yiming Pang, Xuefeng Li, Lucas Wang +7

Strong interactions at low optical powers are key to scalable nonlinear and quantum photonics. Although doubly resonant microresonators exhibit exceptional efficiencies,…

LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run

J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244

LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…

A Quantum-Enhanced Feedback Oscillator

Hudson A. Loughlin, Daniel M. DeSantis, Nergis Mavalvala +1

Feedback oscillators, such as lasers and masers, serve as time references in modern computing, communication, and measurement. Quantum fluctuations ultimately limit their phase sta…

Narrow spectral artifact investigation and mitigation in LIGO data from the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

E. Goetz, A. Neunzert, A. M. Knee +258

We present efforts to identify, characterize, and mitigate narrow spectral artifacts in LIGO detector data during the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Narrow spectral artifac…

A Wafer-Scale Heterogeneous III-V-on-Silicon Nitride Quantum Photonic Platform

Lillian Thiel, Boqiang Shen, Jasper R. Venneberg +22

Heterogeneous integration of gain and strongly nonlinear materials with ultra-low-loss silicon nitride (SiN) photonics offers a route to scalable quantum circuits, but concurrent w…
