Quantum Limit for Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Detectors from Optical Dissipation

We derive a quantum limit to the sensitivity of laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors from optical-loss-induced dissipation, analogous to the sensitivity limit from the mechanical dissipation. It applies universally to different interferometer configurations and cannot be surpassed unle...
