This volume contains the Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study
Institute "Quantum Optics and Experimental General Relativity"
which was held in Bad Windsheim, Federal Republic of Germany, from
August 16 to 29, 1981. At first glance, one might wonder why a
meeting should cover these two topics, and a good bit of quantum
measurement theory as well, all of which seem to be completely
unrelated. The key to what one may call this grand unification lies
in the effort, underway in a number of laboratories around the
world, to detect gravitational radiation. Present research is
pursuing the development of two types of detectors: laser
interferometers and resonant bar detectors. Be cause the signals
that one is trying to measure are so weak the quan tum mechanical
nature of the detectors comes into play. The analy sis of the
effects which result from this is facilitated by the use of
techniques which have been developed in quantum optics over the
years. This analysis also forces one to confront certain issues in
the quantum theory of measurement. The laser interferometer
detectors, using as they do light, are clearly within the realm of
subjects usually considered by quantum optics. For example, the
analysis of the noise present in such a de tector can make use of
the many techniques which have been developed in quantum optics."
