Popis:	This paper explores the quantum and classical descriptions of gravitational wave detection in interferometers like LIGO. We demonstrate that while a simple graviton scattering model fails to explain the observed arm displacements, both the classical gravitational wave approach and a quantum gravitational energy method successfully predict the correct results. We provide a detailed analysis of why the quantum graviton energy approach succeeds, highlighting the importance of collective behavior and the quantum-classical correspondence in gravitational wave physics. Our findings contribute to the ongoing discussion about the quantum nature of gravity and its observable effects in macroscopic physics. Comment: 6 pages no figures
