探测引力波的量子妙招

自2015年首次探测到信号以来，引力波天文学取得了长足进步，但高精度探测器的制造仍面临工程挑战。美国国家航天局（NASA）资助了一项由布鲁克海文国家实验室团队提出的新概念，旨在利用量子力学解决这些工程难题。

Gravitational wave astronomy has seen plenty of improvements since the original signal was captured in 2015. Despite that, it remains an engineering challenge to actually create the detectors needed for the precise measurements that gravitational waves require. A new NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) grant is funding a concept from a team led by Paul Stankus at Brookhaven National Laboratory that could potentially solve some of those engineering problems - by using quantum mechanics.
