Phonon Pair Creation by Inflating Quantum Fluctuations in an Ion Trap

Fifty Years of the Dynamical Casimir Effect

“…The DCE with polaritons was studied in [366][367][368][369][370], and the DCE with magnons in [371,372]. The DCE for phonons was considered in [373][374][375][376].…”

The influence of spacetime curvature on quantum emission in optical analogues to gravity

“…In addition to static black holes [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], it is also possible to create e.g. (static) white hole event horizons [4,6,8,[11][12][13][14][15], rotating geometries analogous to Kerr black holes [16,17], expanding universes [18][19][20] or even (static) two-horizon interactions [21,22]. For those systems featuring a static horizon, the classical frequency shifting of waves at the horizon has been the traditional benchmark to demonstrate analogue gravity physics, although scattering of waves that could not be associated with a horizon has also been observed [6,11,13,23,24].…”

Quantum simulation of particle creation in curved space-time

“…with the speed of sound c s and flow speed v(r) of the fluid. Similarly, physical systems [11][12][13][14][15] giving rise to an effective metric matching the Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker line element…”

“…In this paper, we present an experimental set-up (see Fig 1) with features resembling both analogues of a black hole [16][17][18][19][20][22][23][24][25][26][27] and of an expanding universe [11][12][13][14][15] and discuss particle creation in this system. We investigate the 1-dimensional propagation of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) on a piezoelectric p-type semiconducting substrate with an inhomogeneous 2-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) [32][33][34].…”
