A number of challenges to the standard Λ CDM model have been emerging during the past
few years as the accuracy of cosmological observations improves. In this review we discuss …

The recent detections of gravitational waves (GWs) reported by the LIGO and Virgo
collaborations have made a significant impact on physics and astronomy. A global network …

It may be possible to construct a laser interferometer gravitational wave antenna in space
with h rms∼ 10− 27 at f∼ 0.1 Hz in this century. Using this antenna,(1) typically 10 5 chirp …

Large gravitational wave interferometric detectors, like Virgo and LIGO, demonstrated the
capability to reach their design sensitivity, but to transform these machines into an effective …

Einstein's special theory of relativity revolutionized physics by teaching us that space and
time are not separate entities, but join as' spacetime'. His general theory of relativity further …

We investigate the dynamics and gravitational-wave (GW) emission in the binary merger of
equal-mass black holes as obtained from numerical relativity simulations. The simulations …

We demonstrate a multipartite protocol to securely distribute and reconstruct a quantum
state. A secret quantum state is encoded into a tripartite entangled state and distributed to …

Only a few years ago, it was realized that the zero-area Sagnac interferometer topology is
able to perform quantum nondemolition measurements of position changes of a mechanical …

Significant progress has been made in recent years on the development of gravitational-
wave detectors. Sources such as coalescing compact binary systems, neutron stars in low …

We review the analytic methods used to perform the post-Newtonian expansion of
gravitational waves induced by a particle orbiting a massive, compact body, based on black …
