Speed meter as a quantum nondemolition measuring device for force.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A laser interferometer gravitational wave detector is, in essence, a device for monitoring a classical force (the gravitational wave) that acts on freely moving test masses (the interferometer's suspended mirrors). \Advanced" detectors, expected to operate in the LIGO/VIRGO interferometric network [1] in the middle or later part of the next decade, will be constrained by the standard quantum limit (SQL) for force measurements [2,3],

quantum nondemolition measurements Recently, Pryde et al. reported the demonstration of a quantum nondemolition (QND) scheme for single-photon polarization states with linear optics and projective measurements. In this experiment, a single photon with a specific polarization in the signal mode interacts on a beam splitter with a second polarized photon in the meter mode. A destructive polarizat...
متن کاملSagnac Interferometer as a Speed-Meter-Type, Quantum-Nondemolition Gravitational-Wave Detector
According to quantum measurement theory, “speed meters” — devices that measure the momentum, or speed, of free test masses — are immune to the standard quantum limit (SQL). It is shown that a Sagnac-interferometer gravitational-wave detector is a speed meter and therefore in principle it can beat the SQL by large amounts over a wide band of frequencies. It is shown, further, that, when one igno...
متن کاملPractical speed meter designs for quantum nondemolition gravitational-wave interferometers
In the quest to develop viable designs for third-generation optical interferometric gravitational-wave detectors ~e.g., LIGO-III and EURO!, one strategy is to monitor the relative momentum or speed of the test-mass mirrors, rather than monitoring their relative position. A previous paper analyzed a straightforward but impractical design for a speed-meter interferometer that accomplishes this. T...
متن کاملQuantum nondemolition and higher order effects for a nonlinear meter in an interferometric gravitational wave antenna
A new optical topology and signal readout strategy for a laser interferometer gravitational wave detector were proposed recently by Braginsky and Khalili. Their method is based on using a nonlinear medium inside a microwave oscillator to detect the gravitational-wave-induced spatial shift of the interferometer’s standing optical wave. This paper proposes a quantum nondemolition scheme that coul...
متن کاملA Quantum Particle Undergoing Continuous Observation
A stochastic model for the continuous nondemolition ohservation of the position of a quantum particle in a potential field and a bo-son reservoir is given. lt is shown that any Gaussian wave function evolving according to the posterior wave equation with a quadratic potential collapses to a Gaussian wave packet given by the stationary solution of this equation.. The recently developed methods o...
