Michèle Heurs (Leibniz University Hannover) takes her audience on a journey into the universe. She explains the physical principles of interferometric gravitational wave detection and highlights the technological limits of what can be measured. How can quantum noise, seismic disturbances and thermal effects be overcome, and what role does ‘squeezed’ light play?
