Gravitational wave detection with optical lattice clocks

POSTER

Abstract

We discuss the prospects for using optical lattice clocks for gravitational wave detection. We compare a space-based clock detector to other existing and proposed techniques, and analyze its potential for detecting low-frequency gravitational waves.
