The noise of gravitons

© 2020 World Scientific Publishing Company. We show that when the gravitational field is treated quantum-mechanically, it induces fluctuations - noise - in the lengths of the arms of gravitational wave detectors. The characteristics of the noise depend on the quantum state of the gravitational field...
