Quantum Signature of Analog Hawking Radiation in Momentum Space

Abstract: We consider a sonic analog of a black hole realized in the one-dimensional flow of a Bose-Einstein condensate. Our theoretical analysis demonstrates that one- and two-body momentum distributions accessible by present-day experimental techniques provide clear direct evidence (i) of the occurrence of a sonic horizon, (ii) of the associated acoustic Hawking radiation, and (iii) of the quantum nature of the Hawking process. The signature of the quantum behavior persists even at temperatures larger than the chemica… Show more

“…The interested reader will find in Appendix A a description of the full evolution of the system (both early-and latetime behavior) in terms of g 2 (k) (see Eq. (A.1)), which is the observable commonly used after TOF experiments [9,46,47]. Figure 7 shows the atom number spectrum (as well asη k of Eq.…”

“…A recent work has studied the measurement of quartic CS violations [47] using phonon evaporation, following a related work on the dynamical Casimir effect [48]. On the other hand, the detection of entanglement using the GPH criterion was analyzed in [23] using density fluctuations or the optomechanical detection of phonons.…”

“…The first known as analog gravity exploits the similarity between Navier-Stocks and Einstein-Hilbert equations to engineer the motion of classical and quantum fluids in artificial space-times (see [62][63][64] for a review). In particular the Unruh effect and the Hawking radiation were studied with phononic quasiparticles in a Bose-Einstein condensate [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77], photons [78][79][80][81] and even classical surface waves on moving water [82,83] (for very recent ultracold atom experimental analogues of the cosmological expansion see [84,85]).…”
