    OK Jan, here’s a task for you seeing as you say you have work
    experience in photodetectors, electronics etc. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/04/230420135314.htm
    The above link comes from another article I found on science daily.
    They mention optomechanical sensors. Here’s a quote from the paper.

    “ Optomechanical sensors measure forces that disturb a mechanical sensing device that moves in response. That motion is then measured with light waves. In this experiment, the sensors were membranes, which act like drum heads that vibrate after
    experiencing a push. Optomechanical sensors can function as accelerometers, which can be used for inertial navigation on a planet that doesn't have GPS satellites or within a building as a person navigates different floors.”

    I’ve tried to work out the meaning of this description , in particular the first sentence.
    But it’s not clear what happens physically. As usual for published reviewed papers.
    Does the membrane drum head vibrate seperately from the laser part
    of the device?
    I would have thought that whatever vibrates the membrane would also
    vibrate the laser interferometerpart of the device.
    In other words if both laser interferometer and sensor membrane are
    vibrating then no intereference would be created to be measured.
    Seeing as relative to each other, they don’t move.
    Is it the case that the membrane vibrates with the laser interferometer
    part but because the membrane is more flexible it vibrates seperately
    from the interferometer?
    And that seperate vibration is measured by the laser interferometer
    part of the device?
    What I dont understand is how does the enclosed system
    work as an accelerometer. Like for instance the bit about walking
    around a building. What is it in “walking around the building” that makes the membrane move,...but not the interferometer part of the device?

    Its interesting, I tried using a 3 axis piezo accelerometer chip: https://panteltje.nl/panteltje/xgpspc/index.html
    I did some experiments to see if I could use such a chip for
    inertial navigation, but the temperature drift was too much.
    It does need a temperature stabilized oven.
    Then after that some university did the same sort of experiment...
    Google MPU6050, that is the chip I used
    My smartphone likely has some similar chip in it
    it gives you tilt etc

    So, maybe the 2 'membranes' method in the link you gave will do better, we will see !
    I find the 'entangled' quantum jive not clear.
    There is a lot to do about entanglement for example for encrypted communication...
    But what exactly it is?

    I ignore the quantum entanglement stuff. QT is all nonsense
    as QT is a theory for priests only seeing as photons don’t exist.
    I’m trying to find out how the actual device works physically
    Does the membrane part vibrate seperately from the laser part?
    I’m assuming it must because otherwise if both vibrate in unison.
    ....No interference would be detected.
    I’m assuming these are not ring gyros as gyros don’t need a seperate membrane to vibrate to measure change in rotation.
    This is something else I’m not familiar with.
    I wish these people writing the papers stop attributing
    classical interference effects as quantum effects.
    Total nonsense.
    membranes, those are sensitive to sound too... microphones work that way.

    Yes exactly. So are these “quantum “ devices just hi tech microphones? Ie...sound waves vibrate membrane and very sensitive optical
    interferometer picks up,vibrations?
    If so it still doesn’t make sense.
    How would moving around a room or a building vibrate the
    membrane? Air pressure?
    They ask money for that article, but the original website shows a picture https://news.umich.edu/quantum-entanglement-could-make-accelerometers-and-dark-matter-sensors-more-accurate/
    Typical. Pay money and find out the paper says absolutely
    nothin* of any interest.
    Under the picture the text:
    "An array of membranes, each probed by laser beams that are entangled with one another,
    could enable miniaturized yet highly accurate devices for measuring acceleration, dark matter and more."

    Yes, but how do the lasers measure the vibrations from the membrane. I
    can only think an analogy woulD be a drum.The case has the laser and the drum Skin vibrates seperately from the case. Producing the interference.
    But...what is it that vibrates the membrane but not the laser?
    Pressure difference? Momentum that distorts the membrane
    but not the case with the laser? I wish they could say how this
    works. Rather then waffling on about their religious fantasies of quantum effects,
    Sure, using more than one sensor will reduce noise, entangled or not I'd think

    Here is my measurement of the temperature drift and noise from that MPU6050 Several years ago, posted about it back then.

    There are many laser gyroscopes around.. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_laser_gyroscope

    What happens, if you start moving, is that such a membrane momentarily bends. Then the laser interference pattern appears.
    If you stop moving it bends the other way, so acceleration and de-acceleration causes
    an interference pattern.
    If you keep track of those patterns (in 3 directions, 3 dimensions if you will) so you need 3 setups to begin with,
    then you could with some precision calculate how far you moved in x, y, z direction.
    Simple.
    But a lot of precision required.

    Yes, so its momentum which deforms the membrane shape relative to
    the rigid laser detector part. I can see hand shaking and tapping would
    create a lot of unwanted noise. I wish researchers would stop
    calling classical wave interference patterns..”quantum effects”!

    I wonder if instead of a membrane maybe a simpler cheaper setup
    like: an interference wedge for each x,y,z axis.The two glass
    plates in each wedge would be seperated by a flexible
    material. Allowing movement in one of the glass plates
    relative to the other rigid plate. Only a monochromatic light
    source is neccesary. And the spacing of
    the interference patterns would change with movement.

    Yes the article however is behind a pay-wall, so I cannot read the original paper without forking out 30 dollars or so.
    If it is really world changing somebody will publish it I am sire :-)
