• Quantum-enhanced measurements without entanglement (2017, background): “Nowadays, squeezed light is routinely produced in many labs, and used for instance to enhance sensitivity in gravitational wave observatories (Aasi et al., 2013; Chua, 2015).”
• Continuous force and displacement measurement below the standard quantum limit (2018, background): “The added imprecision and backaction noise will appear in addition to the oscillator’s intrinsic motion, S̄ xx , (consisting of zero-point motion and thermal motion), such that the total measured displacement noise is given by: S̄ xx (Ω) = S̄ int xx (Ω) + S̄ add xx (Ω) (5) These various contribution”
• A cryogenic silicon interferometer for gravitational-wave detection (2020, methodology): “Squeezing is a well-tested technology and was demonstrated in GEO600 and in the H1 LIGO interferometer [69, 70, 71], in preparation for use in the second generation detectors like Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo.”
• 5. Squeezed Light (2014, positive): “In Advanced LIGO, the squeezing is expected to enhance the sensitivity by up to a factor of ten.”
• Imaging with quantum states of light (2019, background): “The domain was largely initiated by the desire to improve the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors, which led to the early theoretical developments of quantum non-demolition measurement [97], and the use of squeezed light in interferometric gravitational wave detectors [98, 99].”
• Squeezed states of light and their applications in laser interferometers (2016, background): “te et al. (2013)]. Towards the end of 2011, right before the start of the detector upgrade to Advanced LIGO, a nonclassical sensitivity improvement was also demonstrated in one of the LIGO detectors [Aasi (2013)]. In this experiment a nonclassical sensitivity improvement corresponding to up to 2.15d”
