Creation of a quantum oscillator by classical control
Stefan Danilishin, Helge Müller-Ebhardt, Henning Rehbein +7
As a pure quantum state is being approached via linear feedback, and the occupation number approaches and eventually goes below unity, optimal control becomes crucial. We obtain th…
Photon pressure induced test mass deformation in gravitational-wave detectors
S. Hild, M. Brinkmann, K. Danzmann +14
A widely used assumption within the gravitational-wave community has so far been that a test mass acts like a rigid body for frequencies in the detection band, i.e. for frequencies…
On the mechanical quality factors of cryogenic test masses from fused silica and crystalline quartz
Anja Schroeter, Ronny Nawrodt, Roman Schnabel +11
Current interferometric gravitational wave detectors (IGWDs) are operated at room temperature with test masses made from fused silica. Fused silica shows very low absorption at the…
Thermal diagnostic of the Optical Window on board LISA Pathfinder
M. Nofrarias, A. F. Garcia Marin, A. Lobo +4
Vacuum conditions inside the LTP Gravitational Reference Sensor must comply with rather demanding requirements. The Optical Window (OW) is an interface which seals the vacuum enclo…
Quantum engineering of squeezed states for quantum communication and metrology
Henning Vahlbruch, Simon Chelkowski, Karsten Danzmann +1
We report the experimental realization of squeezed quantum states of light, tailored for new applications in quantum communication and metrology. Squeezed states in a broad Fourier…
Detuned Twin-Signal-Recycling for ultra-high precision interferometers
Andre Thuering, Roman Schnabel, Harald Lueck +1
We propose a new interferometer technique for high precision phase measurements such as those in gravitational wave detection. The technique utilizes a pair of optically coupled re…
