- Authors: J. P. M. Pitelli and T. Rick Perche
- Abstract summary: We show that gravitons with energy $EOmega$, where $Omega$ is the energy gap a localized non-relativistic system, can be detected by finite-time interactions with a detector.
Our detector is based on a quadrupole moment interaction between the hydrogen atom and the gravitational field in the linearized approximation.

- Abstract: We show that gravitons with energy $E<\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is the energy
gap a localized non-relativistic system, can be detected by finite-time
interactions with a detector. Our detector is based on a quadrupole moment
interaction between the hydrogen atom and the gravitational field in the
linearized approximation. In this model, the external agent responsible for
switching the interaction on an off inputs energy into the system, which
creates a non-zero excitation probability even when the field is in the vacuum
state. However, when the gravitational field is in a one-particle state with
angular momentum, we obtain excitations due to the field's particle content.
These detector excitations are then associated with the detection of gravitons.
We also discuss a possible physical realization of our model where the
electromagnetic field plays the role of the external agent.

We propose Neural Interaction Inference with Potentials (NIIP) as an alternative approach to discover such interactions.
NIIP assigns low energy to the subset of trajectories which respect the relational constraints observed.
It allows trajectory manipulation, such as interchanging interaction types across separately trained models, as well as trajectory forecasting.

We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator.
Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration.
This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement.
Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave.
This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
