Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Jia, Victoria Xu, Kevin Kuns, Masayuki Nakano, Lisa Barsotti | Summary: Precision measurements of space and time, like those made by the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), are often confronted with fundamental limitations imposed by quantum mechanics. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that […]
