Abstract

Interferometric gravitational wave detectors are limited by quantum noise over a large fraction of the observational band. Therefore any method to mitigate quantum noise would significantly improve their sensitivity. In this section we introduce the interferometer standard quantum limit, and we give an overview of the theoretical models and experimental methods so far developed to surpass it.
