Analog Hawking radiation from an acoustic black hole in a flowing polariton superfluid
Open accessAbstract
We theoretically study Hawking radiation processes from an analog acoustic black hole in a flowing superfluid of exciton-polaritons in a one-dimensional semiconductor microcavity. Polaritons are coherently injected into the microcavity by a laser pump with a suitably tailored spot profile. An event horizon with a large analog surface gravity is created by inserting a defect in the polariton flow along the cavity plane. Experimentally observable signatures of the analog Hawking radiation are identified in the scattering of phonon wave packets off the horizon, as well as in the spatial correlation pattern of quantum fluctuations of the polariton density. The potential of these tabletop optical systems as analog models of gravitational physics is quantitatively confirmed by numerical calculations using realistic parameters for state-of-the-art devices.

A natural way to achieve an analog black hole is to use a monochromatic pump and design its phase profile so as to have a small in-plane wavevector in the upstream region and a larger one in the downstream region.
“A natural possibility to achieve this [96] is to use a monochromatic pump and to design its phase profile so as to have a small in-plane wavevector in the upstream region and a larger one in the downstream region.”
From How to exploit driving and dissipation to stabilize and manipulate quantum many-body states (2025) · cites this paper as [96]
Section II.B (p. 4) describes a pump with a spatially varied amplitude and a fixed in-plane wavevector in the pumped region; the downstream flow wavevector changes through propagation and losses. Section III (p. 6) describes creating a pronounced horizon with a defect. These passages support an upstream-to-downstream change in flow, but not the claimed method of designing the pump’s phase profile to set different wavevectors. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredNumerical studies based on the Wigner formalism have shown that a clear signature of Hawking radiation is present in the correlation function of density fluctuations on opposite sides of the horizon.
“to this purpose, numerical studies based on the Wigner formalism have shown that a clear signature of the Hawking radiation is present in the correlation function of density fluctuations on opposite sides of the horizon [96,97].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
