• Abstract summary: Current laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors have limited signal response at the kilo-Hertz band. This work proposes an alternative protocol for boosting the sensitivity of the gravitational wave detectors at high frequency. With the auxiliary quantum amplifier, this design has the feature of Parity-Time (PT) symmetry so that the detection band will be significantly broadened.

• Abstract: The kilo-Hertz gravitational waves radiated by the neutron star merger remnants carry rich information about the physics of high-density nuclear matter states, and many important astrophysical phenomena such as gamma-ray bursts and black hole formation. Current laser interferometer gravitational wave detectors, such as LIGO, VIRGO, and KAGRA have limited signal response at the kilo-Hertz band, thereby unable to capture these important physical phenomena. This work proposes an alternative protocol for boosting the sensitivity of the gravitational wave detectors at high frequency by implementing an optomechanical quantum amplifier. With the auxiliary quantum amplifier, this design has the feature of Parity-Time (PT) symmetry so that the detection band will be significantly broadened within the kilo-Hertz range. In this work, we carefully analyze the quantum-noise-limited sensitivity and the dynamical stability of this design. Based on our protocol, our result shows that the quantum-noise-limited sensitivity will be improved by one order of magnitude around 3kHz, which indicates the potential of our design for a future search of neutron star merger signals.

  We introduce an orbital atomic sensor using a squeezed $p$-orbital Bose-Einstein condensate in an ultracold atomic optical lattice to project the gravitational wave signal received by a usual LIGO setup into a phase-sensitive entangled state. This advance enables about three-order-of-magnitude increase in detection volume, significantly advancing the potential of using gravitational waves to detect dark matter and black holes.
