Let's talk about gravitational waves and noise. Yes, why not? @PPD_STFC @UltracoldAnna @AION_Science @qqq_iop
⚛️ On 13 November, @rutherfordaplab is hosting researchers from light and atom interferometry communities to discuss noise sources relevant to the detection of fundamental physics processes, such as gravitational waves. More info and registration here 👉 indico.stfc.ac.uk/event/910/…

For more details on this, you can check out the @AION_Science team's research paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/1… I remember reading this when it came out and finding the whole concept absolutely mind-blowing! 🤯
Did you know that ultracold atoms can be used to detect gravitational waves, and possibly even dark matter? 🤯 🌌 Here's @drbentine telling us how the @AION_Science interferometer is planning to do just that! Full episode available on all good platforms: insidequantum.org
