Gravitational-wave astronomy began its remarkable legacy on September 14th, 2015, with the ground-breaking detection of a GW signal produced by the coalescence of two black holes. The exciting outcomes from this young research field range from cosmology and multimessenger astrophysics to fundamental physics. The current GW detectors are broadband (10 - 10000 Hz) Michelson interferometers that...

This work proposes a novel architecture that utilizes recent advancements in quantum-limited sensing technology and pixelated silicon sensors to search for new invisible particles. The design features a nanometer-scale, optically levitated sensor embedded with unstable radioisotopes, and surrounded by pixelated silicon detectors. By measuring the recoil of the optomechanical sensor at the...
