New general models for substrate and coating mechanical, thermoelastic, and thermorefractive noise in Michelson interferometers at high frequencies, validated against prior low-frequency models and Holometer data, then applied to GQuEST.
The noise spectrum an interferometer would see from quantum spacetime jitter is computed for vacuum, thermal, squeezed, and scalar-backreaction states; all are Planck-suppressed.
Quantum width of spherically symmetric black hole horizons is defined by signal escape timing and calculated in perturbative quantum gravity to often greatly exceed the Planck length, scaling as sqrt(l_P r_s^2 / sigma_perp) for Schwarzschild patches.
The paper formulates dark matter detection in matter-wave interferometers as an open-system problem using Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory, revealing channel asymmetries and Bose/Pauli factors for elastic scattering.
Standard low-energy quantum gravity via effective graviton QFT predicts interferometer length variations of order the Planck length (~10^{-35} m), with no divergences indicating breakdown.
