Unification of Thermal and Quantum Noises in Gravitational-Wave Detectors

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 the test-mass position. Two other fundamental noises can in principle...
