A novel method for extending frequency frontier in gravitational wave observations is proposed. It is shown that gravitational waves can excite a magnon. Thus, gravitational waves can be probed by a graviton-magnon detector which measures resonance fluorescence of magnons. Searching for gravitational waves with a wave length $lambda$ by using a ferromagnetic sample with a dimension $l$, the sensitivity of the graviton-magnon detector reaches spectral densities, around $5.4 times 10^{-22} times (frac{l}{lambda /2pi})^{-2} [{rm Hz}^{-1/2}]$ at 14 GHz and $8.6 times 10^{-21} times (frac{l}{lambda /2pi})^{-2} [{rm Hz}^{-1/2}]$ at 8.2 GHz, respectively.

LIGO and Virgo have initiated the era of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy; but in order to fully explore GW frequency spectrum, we must turn our attention to innovative techniques for GW detection. One such approach is to use binary systems as dynam ical GW detectors by studying the subtle perturbations to their orbits caused by impinging GWs. We present a powerful new formalism for calculating the orbital evolution of a generic binary coupled to a stochastic background of GWs, deriving from first principles a secularly-averaged Fokker-Planck equation which fully characterises the statistical evolution of all six of the binarys orbital elements. We also develop practical tools for numerically integrating this equation, and derive the necessary statistical formalism to search for GWs in observational data from binary pulsars and laser-ranging experiments.
Gravitons are the quantum counterparts of gravitational waves in low-energy theories of gravity. Using Feynman rules one can compute scattering amplitudes describing the interaction between gravitons and other fields. Here, we consider the interactio n between gravitons and photons. Using the quantum Boltzmann equation formalism, we derive fully general equations describing the radiation transfer of photon polarization, due to the forward scattering with gravitons. We show that the Q and U photon linear polarization modes couple with the V photon circular polarization mode, if gravitons have anisotropies in their power-spectrum statistics. As an example, we apply our results to the case of primordial gravitons, considering models of inflation where an anisotropic primordial graviton distribution is produced. Finally, we evaluate the effect on cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization, showing that in general the expected effects on the observable CMB frequencies are very small. However, our result is promising, since it could provide a novel tool for detecting anisotropic backgrounds of gravitational waves, as well as for getting further insight on the physics of gravitational waves.
In this work, we present the first experimental upper limits on the presence of stochastic ultra-high-frequency gravitational waves. We exclude gravitational waves in the frequency bands from $(2.7 - 14)times10^{14}~$Hz and $(5 - 12)times10^{18}~$Hz down to a characteristic amplitude of $h_c^{rm min}approx6times 10^{-26}$ and $h_c^{rm min}approx 5times 10^{-28}$ at $95~$% confidence level, respectively. To obtain these results, we used data from existing facilities that have been constructed and operated with the aim of detecting WISPs (Weakly Interacting Slim Particles), pointing out that these facilities are also sensitive to gravitational waves by graviton to photon conversion in the presence of a magnetic field. The principle applies to all experiments of this kind, with prospects of constraining (or detecting), for example, gravitational waves from light primordial black hole evaporation in the early universe.

The explosive coalescence of two black holes 1.3 billion light years away has for the very first time allowed us to peer into the extreme gravity region of spacetime surrounding these events. With these maximally compact objects reaching speeds up to 60% the speed of light, collision events such as these create harsh spacetime environments where the fields are strong, non-linear, and highly dynamical -- a place yet un-probed in human history. On September 14, 2015, the iconic chirp signal from such an event was registered simultaneously by both of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors -- by an unparalleled feat of modern engineering. Dubbed GW150914, this gravitational wave event paved the way for an entirely new observing window into the universe, providing for the unique opportunity to probe fundamental physics from an entirely new viewpoint. Since this historic event, the LIGO/Virgo collaboration (LVC) has further identified ten additional gravitational wave signals in its first two observing runs, composed of a myriad of different events. Important among these new cataloged detections is GW170817, the first detection of gravitational waves from the merger of two neutron stars, giving way to new insight into the supranuclear physics resident within. This thesis explores this new unique opportunity to harness the information encoded within gravitational waves in regards to their source whence they came, to probe fundamental physics from an entirely new perspective. Part A focuses on probing nuclear physics by way of the tidal information encoded within gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers. Part B focuses on testing general relativity from such events by way of the remnants of such spacetime encoded within the gravitational wave signal.
We consider a generic dispersive massive gravity theory and numerically study its resulting modified energy and strain spectra of tensor gravitational waves (GWs) sourced by (i) fully developed turbulence during the electroweak phase transition (EWPT ) and (ii) forced hydromagnetic turbulence during the QCD phase transition (QCDPT). The GW spectra are then computed in both spatial and temporal Fourier domains. We find, from the spatial spectra, that the slope modifications are weakly dependent on the eddy size at QCDPT, and, from the temporal spectra, that the modifications are pronounced in the $1$--$10{rm nHz}$ range -- the sensitivity range of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) -- for a graviton mass $m_{rm g}$ in the range $2times10^{-23}{rm eV}lesssim m_{rm g}c^2lesssim7times10^{-22}{rm eV}$.
