Pairs of Planck-mass--scale drops of superfluid helium coated by electrons, when levitated in the presence of strong magnetic fields and at low temperatures, can be efficient quantum transducers between electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational (GR) radiation. A Hertz-like experiment, in which EM waves (microwaves) are converted at the source into GR waves, and then back-converted at...
