I seem to notice a buildup of papers like this:

Detecting single gravitons with quantum sensing. (OK, old one.)

Toward graviton detection via photon-graviton quantum state conversion

Is this akin to “we’re soon gonna put string theory to the test”, or are these legit?

Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it.

If not please ignore me.

EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but there’s always hope. :)

EDIT:

Effective Field Theory Calculation of LIGO-like Compton Scattering and Experiment Proposal for Graviton Detection

Gravitational Wave and Quantum Graviton Interferometer Arm Detection of Gravitons

The opposite viewpoint:

Infeasibility of Graviton Detection as Cosmic Censorship

And some general comments. I'll start with this one:

Thread 'Inertial mass, the Higgs field, and Mach's Principle'

I'm trying to understand the relationship between the Higgs mechanism and the concept of inertia. The Higgs field gives fundamental particles their rest mass, but it doesn't seem to directly explain why a massive object resists acceleration (inertia). My question is: How does the Standard Model account for inertia? Is it simply taken as a given property of mass, or is there a deeper connection to the vacuum structure? Furthermore, how does the Higgs mechanism relate to broader concepts like...
