The experimental investigation of fundamental theories of Physics nowadays is more and more related to the development of new cutting-edge technologies. We are exploiting the most advanced techniques used in gravitational waves detectors to search for quantum fluctuations of space-Time as predicted by some theories of quantum gravity. For this purpose, we are building twin co-located interferometers that are targeted to achieve unprecedented levels of sensitivity. Exploiting quantum technology, like squeezed states of light, will allow further reduction of the detector's noise and improve its sensitivity not only to quantum gravity phenomena, but to dark matter and high-frequency gravitational waves as well.

Abstract
The experimental investigation of fundamental theories of Physics nowadays is more and more related to the development of new cutting-edge technologies. We are exploiting the most advanced techniques used in gravitational waves detectors to search for quantum fluctuations of space-Time as predicted by some theories of quantum gravity. For this purpose, we are building twin co-located interferometers that are targeted to achieve unprecedented levels of sensitivity. Exploiting quantum technology, like squeezed states of light, will allow further reduction of the detector's noise and improve its sensitivity not only to quantum gravity phenomena, but to dark matter and high-frequency gravitational waves as well.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
