In this letter we signalize the possibility of applying a quantum chaos as an element of high sensitivity which serves to detect small changes in length generated by gravitational waves. We propose the construction of a double-bar antenna with a coupling Josephson junction in its center-of-mass. In fact the new antenna is a single Josephson junction with massive bulk contacts, like a single-junction SQUID but with free ends. Computer experiments demonstrate that very small changes generated by the variation of the distance between the bulk plates of the junction capacitance will produce a variety of very different intermittency routes to chaos. A concrete numerical example illustrates the smallness of a quantum of chaos and thus the extraordinary sensitivity of the proposed method.

The sensitivity of a resonant gravitational wave detector which is necessary for the detection of pulses from asymmetric stellar collapses or from black-hole collisions in nearby galaxies is examined. Limitations on this sensitivity due to the resonating quality of the detector, thermal noise, and reaction of the detection system upon the detector are studied. No severe difficulties for the detection of the above-mentioned pulses are expected. For the detection of pulses from a cluster at the galactic center, a nonresonant system based on Doppler ranging to a drag-free satellite would be more appropriate. At present the sensitivity of Doppler-ranging is still two orders of magnitude below the requirements.

AbstractIn this perspective, we outline that a space borne gravitational wave detector network combining LISA and Taiji can be used to measure the Hubble constant with an uncertainty less than 0.5% in ten years, compared with the network of the ground based gravitational wave detectors which can measure the Hubble constant within a 2% uncertainty in the next five years by the standard siren method. Taiji is a Chinese space borne gravitational wave detection mission planned for launch in the early 2030 s. The pilot satellite mission Taiji-1 has been launched in August 2019 to verify the feasibility of Taiji. The results of a few technologies tested on Taiji-1 are presented in this paper.
