Quantization of Gravitational Waves and Squeezing

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica A) Heavy Ion Physics

Summary

The question whether gravitational waves are quantised or not can in principle be answered by the help of correlation measurements. If the gravitational waves are quantised and they are generated by the change of the background metrics then they can be squeezed. In a squeezed state there is a correlation between the phase of the wave and the quantum uctuations. It is proposed to analyse the data to be obtained by the gravitational detectors from the point of view of such correlations. Explicit formulae are derived for the squeezing parameters of the quantised gravitational waves. The head on collision of two identical black holes is analysed as a possible source of squeezed gravitational waves.
