Comment on "Interaction of a Bose-Einstein condensate with a gravitational wave"
A gravitational-wave (GW) detector that utilizes the phononic excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has recently been proposed [NJP 16, 085003 (2014)]. A subsequent and independent study, [arXiv:1807.07046v1], has suggested an alternative GW detection scheme that also uses phonons of a BEC but which was found to be many orders of magnitude away from being feasible. Here we make clear that the two proposed schemes are very different and that the conclusions of [arXiv:1807.07046v1] do not apply to the original proposal [NJP 16, 085003 (2014)].

Abstract

A gravitational-wave (GW) detector that utilizes the phononic excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) has recently been proposed [NJP 16, 085003 (2014)]. A subsequent and independent study, [arXiv:1807.07046v1], has suggested an alternative GW detection scheme that also uses phonons of a BEC but which was found to be many orders of magnitude away from being feasible. Here we make clear that the two proposed schemes are very different and that the conclusions of [arXiv:1807.07046v1] do not apply to the original proposal [NJP 16, 085003 (2014)].
