This project aims to contribute to one of the most momentous and long-anticipated discoveries in physics: the first detection of gravitational waves. The project plans to develop innovative technologies to detect gravitational waves using laser interferometers and enable prompt follow-up observations of gravitational wave sources by conventional telescopes. The outcome of this research would greatly help probe the nature of matter and gravity at extreme densities.

该项目旨在为物理学中最重要和最期待已久的发现之一做出贡献：首次探测到引力波。该项目计划开发利用激光干涉仪探测引力波的创新技术，并使传统望远镜能够迅速对引力波源进行后续观测。这项研究的结果将极大地帮助探索极端密度下物质和重力的本质。
