Quantum measurements in fundamental physics: a user's manual

J Beckey, D Carney, G Marocco - arxiv preprint arxiv:2311.07270, 2023 - arxiv.org
We give a systematic theoretical treatment of linear quantum detectors used in modern high
energy physics experiments, including dark matter cavity haloscopes, gravitational wave …

Enhanced primordial gravitational waves from a stiff postinflationary era due to an oscillating inflaton

C Chen, K Dimopoulos, C Eröncel, A Ghoshal - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We investigate two classes of inflationary models, which lead to a stiff period after inflation
that boosts the signal of primordial gravitational waves (GWs). In both families of models …

[HTML][HTML] Gravitational waves from particle decays during reheating

S Kanemura, K Kaneta - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
Gravitational waves have become an irreplaceable tool for exploring the post-inflationary
universe. Their cosmological and astrophysical origins have been attracting numerous …

Testing whether gravity acts as a quantum entity when measured

F Hanif, D Das, J Halliwell, D Home, A Mazumdar… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
A defining signature of classical systems is “in principle measurability” without disturbance: a
feature manifestly violated by quantum systems. We describe a multi-interferometer …

Detecting kHz gravitons from a neutron star merger with a multi-mode resonant bar

G Tobar, I Pikovski, ME Tobar - arxiv preprint arxiv:2406.16898, 2024 - arxiv.org
We propose a multi-mode bar consisting of mass elements of decreasing size for the direct
detection of stimulated absorption of up to kHz gravitons from a neutron star merger and post …

Comments on graviton detection

D Carney - arxiv preprint arxiv:2408.00094, 2024 - arxiv.org
It is possible to make a detector which clicks after absorbing a single graviton. Similarly, it is
possible to make a gravitational wave detector which can see the quantum noise induced by …

Searching for high-frequency gravitational waves with phonons

Y Kahn, J Schütte-Engel, T Trickle - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The gravitational wave (GW) spectrum at frequencies above a kHz is a largely unexplored
frontier. We show that detectors with sensitivity to single-phonon excitations in crystal targets …

Complete Gravitational-Wave Spectrum of the Sun

C García-Cely, A Ringwald - arxiv preprint arxiv:2407.18297, 2024 - arxiv.org
The high-temperature plasma in the solar interior generates stochastic gravitational waves
(GWs). Due to its significance as the primary source of high-frequency GWs in the solar …

Stimulated absorption of single gravitons: First light on quantum gravity

V Shenderov, M Suppiah, T Beitel, G Tobar… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
In a recent work we showed that the detection of the exchange of a single graviton between
a massive quantum resonator and a gravitational wave can be achieved. Key to this ability …

A quantum description of wave dark matter

DY Cheong, NL Rodd, LT Wang - arxiv preprint arxiv:2408.04696, 2024 - arxiv.org
We outline a fundamentally quantum description of bosonic dark matter (DM) from which the
conventional classical-wave picture emerges in the limit $ m\ll 10~\textrm {eV} $. As …
