Quantum Noise Reduction in the LIGO Gravitational Wave Interferometer with Squeezed States of Light

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The quantum nature of light imposes a fundamental limit on the sensitivity of ground based gravitational wave detectors. Squeezed states of light, produced via parametric downconversion in a non linear medium, have recently been employed to beat the quantum limit and extend the astrophysical reach of the most sensitive gravitational wave detector ever built.
