Abstract

Engineering a detector for sensing an extremely tiny signal such as the gravitational-wave force is a very important subject in quantum physics. A major obstacle towards this goal is that, in the standard detection scheme, the measurement noise is lower bounded by the so-called standard quantum limit (SQL), which is originated from the intrinsic measurement back-action. Hence the detector system has to be carefully engineered so that it evades the back-action and eventually beats the SQL; feedback control is, of course, expected to be a very effective method to achieve this goal. In this paper, we show that this engineering problem can be formulated and solved within the framework of well-developed geometric control theory, for a specific opto-mechanical system.
