GQuEST (Gravity from Quantum Entanglement of Space-Time), is a collaboration verifying a quantum gravity model by measuring holographic effects on a microscopic scale. Its interferometer apparatus filters excessive optical noise and requires a control system that can adjust the filtration to accommodate for frequency changes in the output light. We stress-test this control system by simulating filter behaviors with parameters in their outermost regimes, and we have determined a threshold that maintains precision while minimizing resource usage. These results are important for the successful operation of GQuEST's interferometer, enabling more accurate tests of quantum gravity models and thereby advancing our understanding of gravity at the quantum mechanical level.
