Squeezed Quasinormal Modes from Nonlinear Gravitational Effects
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
We estimate the degree of squeezing possible in gravitational waves due to nonlinear gravitational effects in the weakly perturbative regime. Using the predicted amplitude ratios f…
Complementary Probes of Gravitational Radiation States
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
We demonstrate that the statistical fluctuations in resonant radiation detectors operating in homodyne and heterodyne modes offers additional, complementary information to that obt…
Probing Quantum Structure in Gravitational Radiation
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek
Gravitational radiation from known astrophysical sources is conventionally treated classically. This treatment corresponds, implicitly, to the hypothesis that a particular class of…
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…
New Kind of Echo from Quantum Black Holes
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Karthik Rajeev
We propose that a quantum black hole can produce a new kind of late-time gravitational echoes, facilitated by a near-horizon process analogous to Andreev reflection in condensed ma…
Black holes as Andreev reflecting mirrors
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Andrew N. Jordan
We propose a microscopic quantum description for Hawking radiation as Andreev reflections, which resolves the quantum information paradox at black hole event horizons. The detailed…
Bosons falling into a black hole: A superfluid analogue
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Andrew N. Jordan
We propose an analogy between the quantum physics of a black hole in its late stages of the evaporation process and a superfluid Bose Einstein Condensate (BEC), based on the Horowi…
Andreev reflections and the quantum physics of black holes
Sreenath K. Manikandan, Andrew N. Jordan
We establish an analogy between superconductor-metal interfaces and the quantum physics of a black hole, using the proximity effect. We show that the metal-superconductor interface…
