Description
We propose a novel test for the quantum nature of astrophysical black holes using gravitational-wave measurements.
It is known that the black hole absorption and emission spectra will be quantised if the black hole area is quantised. Focusing on the black hole absorption spectra for binary black holes in the pre-merger signal, we quantify the measurability of black hole area quantisation parameter from the recent gravitational-wave detections through the LIGO-Virgo detectors. Furthermore, considering different binaries we study the possibility of putting stringent bounds on the area quantisation parameter from future gravitational-wave detector such as DECIGO.
