Cover Story: Quantum technology is at the heart of modern gravitational-wave detection, which already enhances the sensitivity of LIGO and Virgo through the use of quantum squeezed light. Remarkably, some of the most violent cosmic events remain invisible to us unless we utilise this fragile quantum light. By introducing just a few quantum-correlated photons into the detector, we extend its reach by many megaparsecs into the Universe. Next-generation observatories, such as the Einstein Telescope, will rely on even more advanced quantum techniques to fully realize their potential. This will demand innovations in several areas of quantum optics and engineering. This review explores the key quantum technologies that will shape gravitational-wave observations with the Einstein Telescope, examining both their challenges and promises for the future of the field. View this paper

Gamma-ray bursts are known to display various features on top of their canonical behavior. In this short review, we will describe and discuss two of them: the ultra-long gamma-ray bursts, which are defined by an extreme duration of their prompt phase...

It has long been known that the observed mass surface density of cored dark matter (DM) halos is approximately constant, independently of the galaxy mass (i.e., ρcrcconstant, with ρc and rc being the central volume density and the radi...

So far, most of the about 5700 exoplanets have been discovered mainly with radial velocity and transit methods. These techniques are sensitive to planets in close orbits, not being able to probearge star–planet separations. μ-lensing is the...

I discuss here the progress made in the last decade on a few of the key open problems in GRB physics. These include (1) the nature of GRB progenitors, and the outliers found to the collapsar/merger scenarios; (2) jet structures, whose existence becam...

We compute the generalized spin precession frequency (Ωp) of a test gyroscope in a stationary spacetime, specifically for a Kerr–MOG black hole within the framework of scalar–tensor–vector gravity (STVG), also known as modifie...
