LIGO Pushes Quantum Boundaries with Universe Squeeze

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) has made a significant breakthrough in quantum squeezing technology, allowing it to overcome quantum noise and improve its detection of cosmic events. By implementing "frequency-dependent squeezing," LIGO can now measure undulations in space-time across the entire range of gravitational frequencies it detects. This advancement is expected to increase LIGO's detection rate by 60 percent, enabling it to study more exotic events that shake space and time. The breakthrough has implications for quantum technology, physics experiments, and future advancements in quantum computing and microelectronics.
