Explore the fascinating world of gravitational wave detection in this informal High Energy Physics talk by Sebastian Ellis from the University of Geneva. Learn why scientists are eager to detect gravitational waves, particularly from non-astrophysical sources, and how cosmogenic gravitational waves could provide unprecedented insights into far UV theories using Earth-bound detectors. Understand gravitational wave detection through simple heuristics that help derive best-case scenarios for various detector technologies, both existing and hypothetical. Discover why quantum states will likely be essential for detecting the most interesting gravitational wave signals, highlighting the importance of developing advanced quantum sensors. This 1-hour and 10-minute lecture from NYU Physics provides valuable knowledge for those interested in the intersection of high energy physics, cosmology, and quantum sensing technologies.
