Description

Stefan Danilishin (Maastricht University) will provide an introduction to the key operating principles and challenges of the Einstein Telescope interferometer. A particular focus will be on the concept of light squeezing—a quantum optics technique used to reduce quantum noise and improve the sensitivity of the detector. The talk will explain the basic idea behind squeezing, why it is essential for reaching the performance goals of next-generation gravitational wave detectors, and how it is implemented in practice.

This ETMOST online meeting is aimed at non-specialist information sharing on the science and technology activities in the EMR region. With updates on geology, R&D, GW science, etc, the online series will cover all relevant aspects for people involved in the Einstein Telescope activities in the EMR region. 

The meeting takes place once a month, on Wednesday afternoon between 16:00 – 17:00 hrs (sharp). The presentation can be no longer than 40 minutes, such that there is ample time for questions and discussions afterwards.

Organised by Achim Stahl and Stan Bentvelsen
