SUMMARY:CM Seminar: Advanced LIGO: building a new window to the universe with quantum matter\, Jess McIver\, UBC.
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jess McIver\, UBC. \nTime: 10:00-11:00am \nLocation: BRIM 311 \nAbstract: Have you ever wondered how the Advanced LIGO detectors can sense relative displacements more than 1\,000 times smaller than the width of a proton? This unprecedented sensitivity is enabled in part by thin film technology! In this talk\, we’ll tour the Advanced LIGO detectors to get a sense for how we can detect gravitational waves with laser interferometers. We’ll summarize the performance of today’s gravitational-wave detectors and what we’ve learned about the Universe with gravitational waves so far. Finally\, we’ll discuss the pivotal role of material science advances in developing future gravitational-wave detectors and unlocking the invisible Universe.
