论文摘要
利用物质波的量子传感器有望实现新一代的重力波检测器。特定原子能级的内在稳定性使原子干涉仪和时钟理想的候选者可以扩展频率窗口，以观察中频带中的重力波，范围从10 MHz到10 Hz。我们介绍了这一新的地面和空间探测器的几何形状和功能，并详细介绍了它们的主要噪声源。我们描述了全球实现大规模示威者并进一步推动当前局限性的不同项目。我们终于给了路线图，以实现抓住这个新研究领域提供的科学机会所需的工具灵敏度。
Quantum sensors exploiting matter waves interferometry promise to realize a new generation of Gravitational Wave detectors. The intrinsic stability of specific atomic energy levels makes atom interferometers and clocks ideal candidates to extend the frequency window for the observation of Gravitational Waves in the mid-frequency band, ranging from 10 mHz to 10 Hz. We present the geometry and functioning of this new class of ground and space detectors and detail their main noise sources. We describe the different projects undertaken worldwide to realize large scale demonstrators and push further the current limitations. We finally give the roadmap for achieving the instrumental sensitivity required to seize the scientific opportunities offered by this new research domain.
