Kavli Affiliate: Lee McCuller | First 5 Authors: Chris Whittle, Lee McCuller, Vivishek Sudhir, Matthew Evans, | Summary: Contemporary gravitational-wave detectors are fundamentally limited by thermal noise — due to dissipation in the mechanical elements of the test mass — and quantum noise — from the vacuum fluctuations of the optical field used to probe […]
