Quantum precision limits of displacement noise free interferometers

Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Tuvia Gefen, Rajashik Tarafder, Rana X. Adhikari, Yanbei Chen, | Summary: Current laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors suffer from a fundamental limit to their precision due to the displacement noise of optical elements contributed by various sources. Several schemes for Displacement-Noise Free Interferometers (DFI) have been proposed […]

Finite-Time Error Bounds for Greedy-GQ

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yue Wang, Yi Zhou, Shaofeng Zou, , | Summary: Greedy-GQ with linear function approximation, originally proposed in cite{maei2010toward}, is a value-based off-policy algorithm for optimal control in reinforcement learning, and it has a non-linear two timescale structure with the non-convex objective function. This paper develops its tightest […]
