Although gravitational waves are now routinely observed, the detection of individual gravitons has long been regarded as impossible. Recent work, however, has demonstrated that single-graviton detection can be achieved and may be feasible…

We investigate the quantum properties of gravitational waves (GWs) generated by a classical energy-momentum tensor. Treating the GW field as a quantum field coupled to a classical source, we evaluate the expectation value of the GW…

It is expected that the quantum nature of spacetime leaves its imprint in all semiclassical gravitational systems, at least in certain regimes, including gravitational waves. In this paper we investigate such imprints on gravitational waves…
