ELGAR program aims to design a cutting-edge, sustainable and unique research infrastructure of strategic importance for Europe that is based on matter wave interferometry to study low frequency Gravitational Waves ( GW).
The ELGAR Earth based antenna will be the first large scale instrument that relies on quantum technologies.
The study of Gravitational Waves (GW) gives humankind an extended view of the cosmos that stretches all the way back to The Big Bang. There is now a growing interest to extend the detection bandwidth to low frequency to obtain a complete picture of cosmic events and astrophysical phenomena. This unique and new opportunity to expand our knowledge depends on the realization of low frequency GW detectors. This is where ELGAR appears.
