Abstract
Squeezed vacuum states of light show a reduction in quantum noise along one quadrature compared to the vacuum state. This characteristic is the key to improve interferometric measurements beyond their quantum noise limitation. In particular for ground-based gravitational wave detectors [1] the application of squeezed light led to a significant sensitivity improvement of up to 6 dB. Future gravitational wave detectors, like the Einstein Tele-scope [2] or Cosmic Explorer [3], aim for an even higher enhancement in the range of 10 dB with the injection of squeezed states of light into the dark port of their interferometers.
