论文摘要
我们回顾了从理论高能物理学（例如散射幅度和有效的现场理论）来利用强大工具的最新进展和未来前景，以开发一个精确且具有系统改进的框架，以计算由黑孔和/或中子星组成的二进制系统的重力波信号。这项工作旨在提供最新的预测，以实现未来重力波探测器的高精度测量。反过来，在这个新领域中应用量子场理论的工具将发现理论结构，这些结构可以改变我们对基本现象的理解并导致新工具，从而进一步发展创新的循环。尽管仍处于新生的阶段，但该研究方向已经以一般相对论得出了新的分析结果，并有望为越来越敏感的检测器提高高度准确的波形模型的发展。
We review recent progress and future prospects for harnessing powerful tools from theoretical high-energy physics, such as scattering amplitudes and effective field theory, to develop a precise and systematically improvable framework for calculating gravitational-wave signals from binary systems composed of black holes and/or neutron stars. This effort aims to provide state-of-the-art predictions that will enable high-precision measurements at future gravitational-wave detectors. In turn, applying the tools of quantum field theory in this new arena will uncover theoretical structures that can transform our understanding of basic phenomena and lead to new tools that will further the cycle of innovation. While still in a nascent stage, this research direction has already derived new analytic results in general relativity, and promises to advance the development of highly accurate waveform models for ever more sensitive detectors.
