8. This analogy is usually made between GWs and non-Abelian field theories such as SU(2) [9]. We will, however, be working in the linearized gravity limit where the non-linear aspects of GWs are neglected. In this limit, the analogy with EM holds well.

13. Local coordinate systems fixed to an observer have been constructed before. The Fermi-Normal coordinates were constructed in the 1920s by Fermi [14], and the Fermi-Walker coordinates were constructed as reported in [10]. Because of a number of assumptions made in their construction, they are not quite useful in dealing with arbitrary GWs.

18. [18] Weinberg shows in [19] that when one attempts to generate a GW by means of an acoustical excitation of a Weber bar, the majority of the energy in the bar is dissipated as heat. Only a small fraction of this energy is converted into GWs. While valid for classical systems like the Weber bar, this analysis often fails for quantum many-body systems such as the quantum Hall fluid where the existence of a finite energy gap allows for macroscopic dissipationless quantum flows in the fluid.

39. While the sensitivity of LIGO can be, in principle, improved using squeezed light [40], the sensitivity of MIGO can be, in principle, improved by using squeezed atom states as well [41], while the practicality of using squeezed light is still in question, squeezed fermion number states are very robust.

58. Stodolsky mentions briefly the use of synchronous coordinates as justification for not considering the action of GWs on parts of the interferometer. This approach is in conflict with the usual coordinate system chosen to detect GWs.
