      Quantum Emulation of Gravitational Waves 

      Fernández-Corbaton, Iván; Cirio, Mauro; Büse, Alexander; Lamata Manuel, Lucas ORCID; Solano Villanueva, Enrique Leónidas ORCID; Molina-Terriza, Gabriel (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-07-14)
      Gravitational waves, as predicted by Einstein's general relativity theory, appear as ripples in the fabric of spacetime traveling at the speed of light. We prove that the propagation of small amplitude gravitational waves ...
