interaction between gravitational waves and condensed matter systems — •Michel Paulsen1, Gudrid Moortgat-Pick1,2, Andreas Ringwald2, and Tom Krokotsch1 — 1University of Hamburg — 2DESY
Gravitational waves have established themselves as a key tool for investigating compact astrophysical sources, but so far they have been limited to a lower frequency range. High-frequency gravitational waves (HFGW) are of particular theoretical interest, as they could potentially provide access to previously unexplored physical processes. The talk covers theoretical investigations of the interaction of gravitational waves with condensed matter systems, with a focus on high-frequency regimes. The focus is on specific physical mechanisms through which HFGW could couple with structured matter, as well as their consequences for alternative approaches to investigating such signals. Matter systems that are suitable for corresponding theoretical analyses, including superconducting systems, are considered as a frame of reference.
