LIGO-India: A Decadal Assessment on Its Scope, Relevance, Progress, and Future
C. S. Unnikrishnan
The LIGO-India project to build and operate an advanced LIGO (aLIGO) gravitational wave (GW) detector in India in collaboration with LIGO-USA was considered and initiated as an Ind…
A Coherent and Unified Single Particle Description of the Integer and Fractional Quantum Hall Effects
C. S. Unnikrishnan
There are compelling reasons to seek a new coherent description of the Quantum Hall Effects (QHE). The theories of the `Integer' (IQHE) and the `Fractional' (FQHE) quantum Hall eff…
The Schrödinger Cat: Physics, Myth, and Philosophy
C. S. Unnikrishnan
The most discussed of ``live'' metaphors in physical sciences is that of the Schrödinger cat. Introduced in the early, but mature days of the new quantum theory, in 1935, the parab…
Gravity Cannot Cure Quantum Mechanics of its Malady of the Collapse of the Wavefunction
C. S. Unnikrishnan, George T. Gillies
The speculation that gravity is the key to solving the quantum measurement problem has been alive for decades, without any convincing demonstration of a solution. One necessary fac…
On the Unconditional Validity of J. von Neumann's Proof of the Impossibility of Hidden Variables in Quantum Mechanics
C. S. Unnikrishnan
The impossibility of theories with hidden variables as an alternative and replacement for quantum mechanics was discussed by J. von Neumann in 1932. His proof was criticized as bei…
All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369
Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…
