Abstract
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors are poised to launch a new era of gravitational-wave astronomy. I will describe the basic principles behind gravitational wave detection and how we achieve sub-attometer displacement sensitivity in kilometer-scale laser interferometers using precision measurement techniques that include quantum optics and optomechanics.
