• Abstract: We study the fundamental sensitivity that can be achieved with an ideal optomechanical system in the nonlinear regime for measurements of time-dependent gravitational fields. Using recently developed methods to solve the dynamics of a nonlinear optomechanical system with a time-dependent Hamiltonian, we compute the quantum Fisher information for linear displacements of the mechanical element due to gravity. We demonstrate that the sensitivity can not only be further enhanced by injecting squeezed states of the cavity field, but also by modulating the light--matter coupling of the optomechanical system. We specifically apply our results to the measurement of gravitational fields from small oscillating masses, where we show that, in principle, the gravitational field of an oscillating nano-gram mass can be detected based on experimental parameters that will likely be accessible in the near-term future. Finally, we identify the experimental parameter regime necessary for gravitational wave detection with a quantum optomechanical sensor.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

• Proposal for an optical interferometric measurement of the gravitational red-shift with satellite systems [52.77024349608834]
  Einstein Equivalence Principle (EEP) underpins all metric theories of gravity. The iconic gravitational red-shift experiment places two fermionic systems, used as clocks, in different gravitational potentials. A fundamental point in the implementation of a satellite large-distance optical interferometric experiment is the suppression of the first-order Doppler effect. We propose a novel scheme to suppress it, by subtracting the phase-shifts measured in the one-way and in the two-way configuration between a ground station and a satellite.
