Abstract : This study explores the integration of quantum algorithms, specifically Grover's algorithm, with quantum metrology to enhance the efficiency and sensitivity of gravitational-wave detection. By combining quantum matched filtering with precise parameter estimation techniques, the research aims to optimize sensor networks for the identification of gravitational waves. This integrated approach leverages the strengths of quantum superposition and entanglement to improve signal detection, reduce noise, and strategically place sensors. The findings demonstrate significant improvements in the sensitivity and accuracy of gravitational wave measurements, highlighting the potential of quantum technologies to revolutionize observational astronomy and enhance our understanding of the universe.

Keywords : Quantum Algorithms, Gravitational-Wave Detection, LIGO/Virgo Data Analysis, Matched Filtering, Quantum Metrology, Parameter Estimation.
