Recently, a group of international researchers developed a new instrument for the laser pointer Interference Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO), which can remove quantum noise and expand the detector’s detection range in the universe. This new device called “quantum vacuum squeezer” helped LIGO reduce this confusing quantum crack phenomenon and expand the detection range of the detector by 15%.
LIGO has been able to detect gravitational waves from space every month or so. Allegedly, thanks to the extruder, gravitational waves in space are now detected almost every week. The new instrument was designed, manufactured and integrated with LIGO’s detectors by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California Institute of Technology and Australian National University.
“LIGO’s laser is composed of photons and uses quantum mechanics,” said the lead author from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “If you look close enough, you will find that it is actually not a continuous blue laser pointer stream, but a single A noisy queue of photons, and each photon is affected by vacuum fluctuations. The continuous flow of light will produce a continuous hum in the detector, and a single photon will make a slight noise when it reaches the detector.
According to research, the detector’s laser power has increased and can identify gravitational waves in the universe 400 million light years away.
