Popis: The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is modified by the introduction of an observer-independent minimal length. In this work, we have considered the resonant gravitational wave detector in the modified uncertainty principle framework, where we have used the position momentum uncertainty relation with a quadratic order correction only. We have then used the path integral approach to calculate an action for the bar detector in the presence of a gravitational wave and then derived the Lagrangian of the system, leading to the equation of motion for the configuration-space position coordinate in one dimension. We then find a perturbative solution for the coordinate of the detector for a circularly polarized gravitational wave, leading to a classical solution of the same for the given initial conditions. Using this classical form of the coordinate of the detector, we finally obtain the classical form of the on-shell action describing the harmonic oscillator–gravitational wave system. Finally, we have obtained the free particle propagator containing the quantum fluctuation term considering gravitational wave interaction.
