Funding Aims to Improve Global Gravitational Wave Network
SWINDON, England, Feb. 25, 2019 — U.S. and U.K. science funding agencies have earmarked $30 million in additional funding aimed at significantly increasing the sensitivity of gravitational wave observatories around the globe. Improvements to the global gravitational wave network, with a third LIGO detector in India targeted to become operational at about the same time as ALIGO+ in 2025, are expected to include strides in quantum optics, quantum information theory, materials science, optical technology, precision metrology, and...
