Bogoliubov theory of the Hawking effect in Bose-Einstein condensates

Ulf Leonhardt, T. Kiss, Patrik Öhberg

Abstract

Artificial black holes may demonstrate some of the elusive quantum properties of the event horizon, in particular Hawking radiation. One promising candidate is a sonic hole in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We clarify why Hawking radiation emerges from the condensate and how this condensed-matter analog reflects some of the intriguing aspects of quantum black holes.
