Fast and high-fidelity state preparation and measurement in triple-quantum-dot spin qubits
Jacob Z. Blumoff, Andrew S. Pan, Tyler E. Keating +19
We demonstrate rapid, high-fidelity state preparation and measurement in exchange-only Si/SiGe triple-quantum-dot qubits. Fast measurement integration ( ns) and initialization…
Parisi-Sourlas-like dimensional reduction of quantum gravity in the presence of observers
Dmitriy I. Podolskiy, Andrei O. Barvinsky, Robert Lanza
One of the sources of incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics is perturbative non-renormalizability of quantum gravity in spacetime dimensions. Here,…
The US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
Room temperature optomechanical squeezing
Nancy Aggarwal, Torrey Cullen, Jonathan Cripe +7
The radiation-pressure driven interaction of a coherent light field with a mechanical oscillator induces correlations between the amplitude and phase quadratures of the light. Thes…
Observation of a room-temperature oscillator's motion dominated by quantum fluctuations over a broad audio-frequency band
Jonathan Cripe, Nancy Aggarwal, Robert Lanza +7
We report on the broadband measurement of quantum radiation pressure noise (QRPN) in an optomechanical cavity at room temperature over a broad range of frequencies relevant to grav…
All-sky search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the first Advanced LIGO observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +990
We present the results of a search for long-duration gravitational wave transients in the data of the LIGO Hanford and LIGO Livingston second generation detectors between September…
Radiation-Pressure-Mediated Control of an Optomechanical Cavity
Jonathan Cripe, Nancy Aggarwal, Robinjeet Singh +7
We describe and demonstrate a method to control a detuned movable-mirror Fabry-Perot cavity using radiation pressure in the presence of a strong optical spring. At frequencies belo…
Interferometric Constraints on Quantum Geometrical Shear Noise Correlations
Aaron Chou, Henry Glass, H. Richard Gustafson +10
Final measurements and analysis are reported from the first-generation Holometer, the first instrument capable of measuring correlated variations in space-time position at strain n…
Quantum correlation measurements in interferometric gravitational wave detectors
D. V. Martynov, V. V. Frolov, S. Kandhasamy +199
Quantum fluctuations in the phase and amplitude quadratures of light set limitations on the sensitivity of modern optical instruments. The sensitivity of the interferometric gravit…
Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO's first observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +993
We employ gravitational-wave radiometry to map the gravitational waves stochastic background expected from a variety of contributing mechanisms and test the assumption of isotropy…
Upper Limits on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background from Advanced LIGO's First Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +992
A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW1512…
All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the first Advanced LIGO run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +986
We present the results from an all-sky search for short-duration gravitational waves in the data of the first run of the Advanced LIGO detectors between September 2015 and January…
The Holometer: An Instrument to Probe Planckian Quantum Geometry
Aaron Chou, Henry Glass, H. Richard Gustafson +10
This paper describes the Fermilab Holometer, an instrument for measuring correlations of position variations over a four-dimensional volume of space-time. The apparatus consists of…

On decoherence in quantum gravity
Dmitriy Podolskiy, Robert Lanza
It was previously argued that the phenomenon of quantum gravitational decoherence described by the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is responsible for the emergence of the arrow of time. He…
