Quantum Optics and Mechanics in Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Gravitational-wave detectors like Advanced LIGO probe perhaps the most cataclysmic events since the Big Bang, involving objects tens to hundreds of times more massive than the Sun, yet they remain at the whim of minute quantum fluctuations. Pushing our reach further into the cosmos demands a mastery...
