But in the Michelson interferometer, the Fabry-Perot, etc., the parts of the wave functions pass close to lots of mass, get reflected by mirrors, etc. without the wave function collapsing. So, a part of a wave function should be able to pass near a gravitational wave detector and be detected without causing the wave function to collapse?
