AI 中文摘要
我们研究压缩态能否提供可观测的量子引力波特征。由于实际探测器仅与特定波包模式耦合，全局源模式中的压缩态不一定保持可观测。我们证明，暴胀产生的双模压缩态在可及的单模区域会退化为未压缩的热态；相位非相干性会消除随机背景中的压缩态；探测器的立体角覆盖范围有限，会强烈抑制孤立源的压缩态。随后我们表明，源压缩态并非必需：若探测器态初始制备为压缩态，量子化引力波可产生正的压缩见证，而经典外引力场仅能产生位移，无法做到这一点。不过，产生的信号受限于极小的引力子-探测器耦合。因此，探测器压缩态可消除对入射压缩波的需求，但无法消除引力相互作用微弱导致的抑制效应。
英文摘要
We investigate whether squeezing can provide an observable signature of quantum gravitational waves. Because a realistic detector couples only to a particular wave-packet mode, squeezing in global source modes need not remain observable. We show that inflationary two-mode squeezing reduces to an unsqueezed thermal state in the accessible one-mode sector, phase incoherence washes out squeezing in stochastic backgrounds, and the limited coverage of the solid angle of detectors strongly suppresses squeezing from isolated sources. We then show that source squeezing is not essential, {\it i.e.}, a quantized gravitational wave can generate a positive squeezing witness if the detector state is initially prepared in a squeezed state, whereas a classical external gravitational field cannot, producing only a displacement. However, the resulting signal is bounded by the extremely small graviton--detector coupling. Thus, detector squeezing can remove the need for squeezed incident waves, but not the suppression caused by weak gravitational interaction.
