In this talk, we will discuss how we apply quantum interferometers to search for gravitational waves, dark matter, and semiclassical gravity. In particular, I will discuss the latest sensitivity and astrophysical results of the LIGO detectors and R&D we do in Birmingham to further improve the detectors: precision sensors, inertial isolation systems, experimental tests of optical coatings, and quantum amplification schemes. We will also discuss two local experiments we currently install in Birmingham to apply the LIGO -type quantum interferometry to search to axion-like-particles in the galactic halo and signatures of macroscopic quantum mechanics in classical space time.
