• Title: Probing the massive scalar mode in the levitated sensor detector of gravitational wave
• Authors: Rakesh Das, Anirban Saha,
• Abstract summary: We show that the recently designed levitated sensor detector citeAggarwal of gravitational wave has a better chance of detecting both the scalar and tensor modes at different frequencies. By adjusting the intensity of the optical beam the frequency of the harmonic potential trap can be varied widely. We demonstrate that the dynamics of the sensor mass obeys a geodesic deviation equation in the proper detector frame.

• Abstract: Owing to the mass scale associated with the scalar longitudinal mode signal of gravitational wave predicted by modified theories of gravity, it should propagate at a subluminal speed and with a different frequency compared to the massless tensor mode signals which moves at the speed of light and are present in both standard general relativity and modified theories. This is ensured by the massless and massive dispersion relations obeyed respectively by the tensor and scalar modes of gravitational wave coming from a given source and thus having the same propagation vector. We show that because of its wider operational frequency band the recently designed levitated sensor detector \cite{Aggarwal} of gravitational wave has a better chance of detecting both the scalar and tensor modes at these different frequencies and thus can provide observational evidence in favour of modified theories of gravity over general relativity. This detector works on the principle of optical trapping \cite{Ashkin_1970} of a dielectric nanosphere sensor\cite{Geraci}. By adjusting the intensity of the optical beam the frequency of the harmonic potential trap can be varied widely so that the nanosphere sensor can undergo distinct resonant transitions induced by the tensor and scalar modes. We demonstrate that the dynamics of the sensor mass obeys a geodesic deviation equation in the proper detector frame and construct a quantum mechanical description of this system in modified gravity framework to compute the probabilities of resonant transitions in response to incoming gravitational wave signals of both periodic and aperiodic kind.

  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.

  We introduce an operational way to distinguish between the overall shift in the pulse wavepacket and its genuine deformation after propagation.

We find that the quantum coherence initially present can enhance the deformation induced by propagation in a curved background.

• Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
  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.

  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.
