Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they
have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014. We review the …

This review discusses the current status of supermassive black hole research, as seen from
a purely observational standpoint. Since the early '90s, rapid technological advances, most …

The two-body dynamics in general relativity has been solved perturbatively using the post-
Newtonian (PN) approximation. The evolution of the orbital phase and the emitted …

Matched-filter searches for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries by the
LIGO Scientific Collaboration use the findchirp algorithm: an implementation of the optimal …

The purpose of quantum technologies is to explore how quantum effects can improve on
existing solutions for the treatment of information. Quantum photonics sensing holds great …

Gravitational waves (GW) were predicted by Einstein [1] as a consequence of the theory of
General Relativity; its geometrical interpretation states that gravitation is the result of the …

We demonstrate a multipartite protocol to securely distribute and reconstruct a quantum
state. A secret quantum state is encoded into a tripartite entangled state and distributed to …

Abstract The Big Bang Observer is a proposed space-based gravitational-wave detector
intended as a follow on mission to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). It is …

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a
large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmological …

Gravitational-wave detection has been pursued relentlessly for over 40 years. With the
imminent operation of a new generation of laser interferometers, it is expected that …
