Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger

B. P. Abbott, +1010 more
TL;DR: The first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of the collision and merger of a pair of black holes were reported in this paper, which was observed on September 14, 2015 by the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), arguably the most sensitive scientific instruments ever constructed.

Constraints on dark photon dark matter using data from LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run

Richard J. Abbott, +1625 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a search for dark photon dark matter that could couple to gravitational-wave interferometers using data from Advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run.
Journal ArticleDOI

Candidates for a possible third-generation gravitational wave detector: comparison of ring-Sagnac and sloshing-Sagnac speedmeter interferometers

TL;DR: In this article, a sloshing-Sagnac interferometer was proposed to provide improved quantum noise limited sensitivity and lower coating thermal noise than standard position meter interferometers employed in current gravitational wave detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitigating Mode-Matching Loss in Nonclassical Laser Interferometry.

TL;DR: It is experimentally demonstrated that introducing squeezed states in additional, higher-order spatial modes can significantly improve the observed nonclassical sensitivity improvement when the loss is due to mode-matching deficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new type of quantum speed meter interferometer: measuring speed to search for intermediate mass black holes

TL;DR: In this article, a novel concept of how to turn a conventional Michelson interferometer into a quantum non-demolition (QND) speed meter inter-ferometer with coherently suppressed quantum back-action noise by using two orthogonal polarisations of light and an optical circulator to couple them was proposed.
