项目摘要

Gravitational forces change the position and speed of a mass. The most precise measurement devices for gravitational forces are laser interferometers sensing the motion of mirrors acting as test masses, in particular those built for the detection of gravitational waves. Theoretical research in quantum metrology has predicted the possibility to improve force measurements by realising a quantum non-demolition (QND) scheme for position and speed. Such a scheme surpasses the so-called standard quantum limit (SQL), which is a direct consequence of Heisenberg's uncertainty relation and a fundamental, yet not ultimate, limit in gravitational-wave detectors. Up to now, neither a position nor a speed measurement noise spectral density beyond the SQL has been demonstrated. The aims of this project are the theoretical analysis and the construction of a new type of a cavity-enhanced optomechanical interferometer; the characterization of the interferometric measurement of speed as a QND variable; and the employment of the new setup's unique properties for demonstrating a noise spectral density beyond the SQL. The new setup will be table-top and will comprise for the first time a membrane inside a ring cavity. In contrast to previously investigated coupled cavities with a membrane in the middle, the new setup avoids optomechanical instabilities and will allow for much higher intra-cavity light powers. Furthermore, the new setup has two output ports, whose combination enables the simultaneous monitoring of membrane position and membrane speed. This unique feature will be used for a direct comparison between position measurements that are affected by quantum back-action and QND speed measurements. The high intra-cavity light powers, together with the back-action evading property of the new system and the injection of squeezed states of light will enable reaching and even surpassing the SQL at temperatures above 5K. The first demonstration and verification of QND techniques as planned in this project will be accompanied by a detailed analysis of scalability with regard to detection frequency and test mass size. This would be development towards a new interferometer topology with unprecedented sensitivity for the detection of gravitational waves.

引力改变物体的位置和速度。最精确的引力测量设备是激光干涉仪，它可以检测作为测试质量的镜子的运动，特别是那些为探测引力波而建造的镜子。量子计量学的理论研究已经预测了通过实现位置和速度的量子非破坏（QND）方案来改善力测量的可能性。这样的方案超越了所谓的标准量子极限（SQL），这是海森堡不确定关系的直接结果，也是引力波探测器的基本但非最终极限。到目前为止，没有一个位置或速度测量噪声谱密度超过SQL已被证明。该项目的目的是理论分析和一种新型的腔增强光机械干涉仪的建设;作为QND变量的速度的干涉测量的表征;和就业的新设置的独特属性，用于演示超出SQL的噪声谱密度。新的设置将是桌面，并将首次包括一个环腔内的膜。与先前研究的中间有膜的耦合腔相比，新的设置避免了光学机械不稳定性，并将允许更高的腔内光功率。此外，新的设置有两个输出端口，其组合可以同时监控膜位置和膜速度。这种独特的功能将用于直接比较受量子反作用影响的位置测量和QND速度测量。高的腔内光功率，加上新系统的反作用规避特性和光的压缩态的注入，将能够在高于5 K的温度下达到甚至超过SQL。QND技术的第一次演示和验证计划在这个项目中将伴随着一个详细的分析的可扩展性方面的检测频率和测试质量的大小。这将是一种新的干涉仪拓扑结构的发展，具有前所未有的探测引力波的灵敏度。
