This, in turn, can give rise to nonlocal modifications of quantum mechanics at non-relativistic energies. Here, we analyze the nonlocal Schrödinger evolution of a quantum harmonic oscillator in one such scenario, where the problem can be addressed without the use of perturbation theory. We demonstrate that although deviations from standard quantum predictions occur at low occupation numbers, where they could potentially be detected or constrained by high-precision experiments, the classical limits of quantum probability densities and free energy remain unaffected up to energies comparable with the nonlocality scale. These results provide an example of nonlocal quantum dynamics compatible with classical predictions, suggesting massive quantum objects as a promising avenue for testing some phenomenological aspects of quantum gravity.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142174989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we study the application of arm locking to the Astrodynamical Middle-frequency Interferometric Gravitational wave Observatory (AMIGO) to decrease the frequency noise of laser sources. For AMIGO, the arm-locking technique can suppress the laser frequency noise by three orders of magnitude. The advantage of this is to make the auxiliary noise assignment for AMIGO easier and more relaxed. For the first-generation time-delay interferometry (TDI) configuration, the laser frequency noise contribution is already below the core noise contribution. For the simple Michelson TDI configuration (X0), the arm locking makes the acceleration-thrust scheme, the delay-line scheme, or the combined scheme easier to implement. Within a relatively short period of less than a day (compared to less than twenty days for LISA/Taiji), the Doppler frequency pulling can be efficiently reduced to within ±0.001 Hz and does not affect the mission duty cycle much.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142170861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies formulated Loop Quantum Gravity amplitudes with a view to describe this process. We identify two timescales to be extracted which we call the crossing time and the lifetime and complete a calculation that gives explicit estimates using the asymptotics of the EPRL model. The crossing time is found to scale linearly in the mass, in agreement with previous results by Ambrus and Hájíček and more recent results by Barceló, Carballo–Rubio and Garay. The lifetime is found to depend instead on the spread of the quantum state, and thus its dependence on the mass can take a large range of values. This indicates that the truncation/approximation used here is not appropriate to estimate this observable with any certainty. The simplest choice of a balanced semiclassical state is shown to yield an exponential scaling of the lifetime in the mass squared. Our analysis only considers 2-complexes without bulk faces, a significant limitation. In particular it is not clear how our estimates will be affected under refinements. This work should be understood as a step towards a fuller calculation in the context of covariant Loop Quantum Gravity.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142170860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A quantum strong cosmic censorship conjecture, for which we give a rigorous statement, supports this conclusion.

Temperature noise characterized by temperature amplitude spectral density (TASD) in target frequency band (0.1 mHz–100 mHz) must be limited to μK Hz−1/2 level. However, TASD at ultra-low frequency ascends sharply, leading to temperature noise suppression failure of passive thermal control material (PTM). In this paper, we proposed ‘frequency barrier’ to denote the sharply TASD transition at ultra-low frequency and developed temperature noise transmission model to study the effect of heat flow spectral characteristics and PTM thermophysical properties on TASD and frequency barrier. The results showed that reducing PTM thermal conductivity could decrease TASD apparently at certain heat flow frequency, but minimum TASD limit exist which increases with decreasing heat flow frequency. Frequency barrier decreases with decreasing thermal conductivity and increasing specific heat capacity of PTM. High heat capacity materials accumulate more heat, while low thermal conductivity materials attenuate more temperature fluctuations, enabling effective temperature noise suppression at low heat flow frequency and broadening PTM’s temperature noise suppression range. The obtained frequency barrier correlation provides guidance for the material selection criterion of temperature noise suppression in space-borne GW detection.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142166097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is not straightforward to check the consistency between the ringdown signal and the QNM frequencies predicted by the linear perturbation theory. While the longest-lived mode can be extracted in a stable manner, the higher overtones damp more quickly and hence the fitting of overtones tends to end up with the overfit. To improve the extraction of overtones, we propose an iterative procedure consisting of fitting and subtraction of the longest-lived mode of the ringdown waveform in the time domain. Through the analyses of the mock waveform and numerical relativity waveform, we clarify that the iterative procedure allows us to extract the overtones in a more stable manner.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142160701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study uses LIGO data from the third observing run with injected compact binary signals. As a demonstration, we use DeepClean to subtract the noise at 60 Hz due to the power mains and their sidebands arising from non-linear coupling with other instrumental noise sources. Our parameter estimation study on the injected signals shows that DeepClean does not do any harm to the underlying astrophysical signals in the data while it can enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of potential signals. We show that DeepClean can be used for low-latency noise regression to produce cleaned output data at latencies ~1–2 s. We also discuss various considerations that may be made while training DeepClean for low latency applications.","PeriodicalId":10282,"journal":{"name":"Classical and Quantum Gravity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142160700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
