Beyond the standard quantum limit

G. Cella

A fundamental peculiarity of gravitational waves is the fact that they couple very weakly to the matter. For this reason the response of a detector can be so small to be comparable with quantum undeterminations. An important limitation for the sensitivity of future generation interferometric detectors of gravitational waves is the so-called standard quantum limit, which makes impossible to do repeated, arbitrary precision measurements of the relevant observables. It can be explained as the consequence of the measurement process' back action on the detector's dynamics. A relevant theoretical and experimental effort has been done in these years in order to study the possibility of avoiding this limitation, which is no more considered a fundamental one. In this talk after a short introduction to the SQL problem from a general point of view I discuss some proposals for detection strategies designed to evade it.

Gravitational wave detection beyond the standard quantum limit using a negative-mass spin system and virtual rigidity

Emil Zeuthen, Eugene Simon Polzik, Farid Ya Khalili

Gravitational wave detectors (GWDs), which have brought about a new era in astronomy, have reached such a level of maturity that further improvement necessitates quantum-noise-evading techniques. Numerous proposals to this end have been discussed in the literature, e.g., invoking frequency-dependent squeezing or replacing the current Michelson interferometer topology by that of the quantum speedmeter. Recently, a proposal based on the linking of a standard interferometer to a negative-mass spin system via entangled light has offered an unintrusive and small-scale new approach to quantum noise evasion in GWDs [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 031101 (2018)]. The solution proposed therein does not require modifications to the highly refined core optics of the present GWD design and, when compared to previous proposals, is less prone to losses and imperfections of the interferometer. In the present article, we refine this scheme to an extent that the requirements on the auxiliary spin system are feasible with state-of-the-art implementations. This is accomplished by matching the effective (rather than intrinsic) susceptibilities of the interferometer and spin system using the virtual rigidity concept, which, in terms of implementation, requires only suitable choices of the various homodyne, probe, and squeezing phases.
