Description
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network has detected approximately 100 merging compact objects using gravitational wave detection. The next series of upgrades promises increasing our understanding of highly warped spacetime, nuclear astrophysics, and cosmology. To reach those astrophysical targets, the measurements will have to be improved through quantum metrology, advances in thin film materials, and AI driven feedback controls.
