Description: Nonclassical Laser Interferometry for Gravitational Wave AstronomynMichèle Heurs, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Leibniz Universität HannovernnThe first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW) in Sept. 2015 – the merger a binary black hole system – heralded the era of gravitational gave astronomy (GWA). GWA will expand our view on the universe, and reveal things so far not understood, unexplainable or even unknown. GWs are tiny perturbations in the metric of spacetime
