• Abstract: DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (DECIGO) is a future mission for a space-borne laser interferometer. DECIGO has 1,000-km-long arm cavities mainly to detect the primordial gravitational waves (PGW) at lower frequencies around 0.1 Hz. Observations in the electromagnetic spectrum have lowered the bounds on the upper limit of PGW energy density ($\Omega_{\rm gw} \sim 10^{-15} \to 10^{-16}$). As a result, DECIGO's target sensitivity, which is mainly limited by quantum noise, needs further improvement. To maximize the feasibility of detection while constrained by DECIGO's large diffraction loss, a quantum locking technique with an optical spring was theoretically proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the PGW. In this paper, we experimentally verify one key element of the optical-spring quantum locking: sensitivity optimization by completing the square of multiple detector outputs. This experiment is operated on a simplified tabletop optical setup with classical noise simulating quantum noise. We succeed in getting the best of the sensitivities with two different laser powers by the square completion method.

The iconic gravitational red-shift experiment places two fermionic systems, used as clocks, in different gravitational potentials.

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.
