Machine learning ("artificial intellegence") improves experiment

21 June 2023

Seismic disturbances are a problem in many physical experiments, including gravitational wave observatories. We were able to build an artificial neural network that has learnt from past disturbances and is better able to recognise similar acute disturbances.

Macroscopic quantum mechanics in gravitational-wave observatories and beyond

Recent observations on the GW observatories LIGO and Virgo showed that the quantum uncertainty of intense laser light affected the quantum uncertainty of 40 kg mirrors. We review these observations and provide links to fundamental physical research.
