Quantum-Enhanced Gravitational Wave Astronomy: Listening to the Universe in a New Frequency

A new generation of quantum-metrology detectors is poised to open a mid-frequency window on gravitational waves, revealing collisions of intermediate-mass black holes and echoes from the universe's infancy. By merging cold-atom interferometry with squeezed-light techniques, researchers are advancing beyond traditional laser interferometers to capture cosmic ripples with unprecedented precision.
