LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Gaussian Quantum Metrology with Realistic Linear Sensors
Jacques Ding, James W. Gardner, Tuvia Gefen +1
Quantum sensing promises enhanced precision, but the usual quantum Cramer Rao bound can be too optimistic for realistic linear sensors, where squeezing, filtering, and loss reshape…
Stochastic signal sensing with finite energy and dead time at the fundamental quantum limit
James W. Gardner, Tuvia Gefen, Matteo Fadel
State preparation, measurement, and reset operations take finite time and use finite energy in realistic experiments, yet the impact of this on optimal quantum metrological protoco…
Quantum superresolution and noise spectroscopy with quantum computing
James W. Gardner, Federico Belliardo, Gideon Lee +2
Quantum metrology of an incoherent signal is a canonical sensing problem related to superresolution and noise spectroscopy. We show that quantum computing can accelerate searches f…
Bayesian frequency estimation at the fundamental quantum limit
James W. Gardner, Tuvia Gefen, Ethan Payne +6
Searching for a weak signal at an unknown frequency is a canonical task in experiments probing fundamental physics such as gravitational-wave observatories and ultra-light dark mat…
Quantum Back Action Evasion with Reservoir Engineering
Yohei Nishino, James W. Gardner, Yanbei Chen +1
We propose a back-action evading scheme for a free mass that combines reservoir engineering with velocity measurement. The underlying principle follows the double-pass-type speed m…
