Description

High frequency gravitational waves could carry unique information about the early universe and physics beyond the standard model. However, measuring these elusive signals requires dramatic technology, such as superconducting microwave cavities, which are highly efficient resonators. I will introduce a gravitational wave detector based on such a cavity and explain how it could evade standard quantum limits to reach the necessary sensitivities in the future.
