An interferometric gravitational wave detector as a quantum-gravity apparatus

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2015-06-25 v2

Abstract

As a consequence of the extreme precision of the measurements it performs, an interferometric gravitational wave detector is a macroscopic apparatus for which quantum effects are not negligible. I observe that this property can be exploited to probe some aspects of the interplay between Quantum Mechanics and Gravity.
