论文摘要
超导体对重力波的响应显示出遵守伦敦样的成分方程。库珀对由嵌入弯曲时空中的金茨堡 - 兰道自由能密度描述。晶格离子由以准能量特征值为特征的量子谐波振荡器建模。该公式被证明可以预测动态casimir效应，因为离子晶格声子的零点能由重力波调节。还表明，对于库珀对密度而言，对引力波的响应要比离子晶状体要少得多。这预测了“电荷分离效应”，可用于检测引力波的通过。
The response of a superconductor to a gravitational wave is shown to obey a London-like constituent equation. The Cooper pairs are described by the Ginzburg-Landau free energy density embedded in curved spacetime. The lattice ions are modeled by quantum harmonic oscillators characterized by quasi-energy eigenvalues. This formulation is shown to predict a dynamical Casimir effect since the zero-point energy of the ionic lattice phonons is modulated by the gravitational wave. It is also shown that the response to a gravitational wave is far less for the Cooper pair density than for the ionic lattice. This predicts a "charge separation effect" which can be used to detect the passage of a gravitational wave.
