A new study suggests that a proposed graviton detector that uses 4,000-pound aluminum cylinders as acoustic resonators could be used in conjunction with Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave ...

Now, the research team, led by Stevens physics professor Igor Pikovski, has “worked out how to build a single-graviton-detector” that could enable the detection of gravitons. Their method ...

In the recent paper, which appeared in Nature Communications in August, Pikovski and his co-authors outlined how the graviton detector would work. First, take a 15-kilogram bar of beryllium (or some ...

“When these three ingredients—resonant bar as a macroscopic quantum detector, detecting quantum transitions using quantum sensors and cross-correlating detection with LIGO— are taken altogether, it ...
