Limiting sensitivity of superconductive LC - circuit placed in weak gravitational wave

TL;DR

This paper explores how the sensitivity of a superconductive LC circuit to weak gravitational waves is fundamentally limited by magnetic flux quantization and fractional charge effects, impacting its potential as a gravitational wave detector.

Contribution

It introduces the concept that flux quantization and fractional charge effects set fundamental sensitivity limits for superconductive LC circuits in gravitational wave detection.

Findings

Sensitivity is limited by magnetic flux quantization.

Fractional charge effects further restrict detection capabilities.

Potential application as a gravitational wave detector is discussed.

Abstract

It is demonstrated that the sensitivity of a superconductive LC - circuit placed in a weak gravitational wave is limited by two factors. One is the quantization of the magnetic flux through the circuit, the second one is the fraction of the elementary charge (effect Laughlin - Stormer - Tsui). Application to a possibility of using a superconductive LC - circuit as a weak gravitational waves detector is discussed.
