• Abstract summary: We present an analogue quantum simulation of (1 + 1)- dimensional black holes using ultracold atoms in a locally Floquet-driven 1D optical lattice. We show how the effective dynamics of the driven system can generate a position-dependent tunnelling profile that encodes the curved geometry of the black hole. We provide a simple and robust scheme to determine the Hawking temperature of the simulated black hole based solely on on-site atom population measurements.

• Abstract: In the curved spacetime of a black hole, quantum physics gives rise to distinctive effects such as Hawking radiation. Here, we present a scheme for an analogue quantum simulation of (1 + 1)- dimensional black holes using ultracold atoms in a locally Floquet-driven 1D optical lattice. We show how the effective dynamics of the driven system can generate a position-dependent tunnelling profile that encodes the curved geometry of the black hole. Moreover, we provide a simple and robust scheme to determine the Hawking temperature of the simulated black hole based solely on on-site atom population measurements. Finally, we show how this scheme can be directly applied to simulate (2 + 1)D black holes by utilising 2D optical lattices. By incorporating the effect of atom-atom interactions, our simulator can probe the scrambling of quantum information which is a fundamental property of black holes.

  We show that a two-level system interacting with a quantum field residing in the spacetime exhibits resonant peaks in its response at certain values of the superposed masses. Our results suggest that deeper insights into quantum-gravitational phenomena may be accessible via tools in relativistic quantum information and curved spacetime quantum field theory.

• Stimulated Emission of Radiation and the Black Hole Information Problem [0.0]
  Black holes not only emit radiation spontaneously, but also respond to infalling matter and radiation by emitting approximate clones of those fields in a stimulated manner. I show how stimulated emission turns the black hole into an almost optimal quantum cloning machine. I speculate about possible observable consequences of stimulated emission of radiation in black holes.

  We use a square lattice of fermions with inhomogeneous tunneling couplings to simulate rotationally symmetric 3D black holes on Dirac fields. We identify the parametric regime where the theoretically predicted 2D CFT faithfully describes the black hole entanglement entropy. With the help of the universal simulator we further demonstrate that a large family of 3D black holes exhibit the same ground state entanglement entropy behavior as the BTZ black hole.

  Accelerating relativistic mirror has long been recognized as a viable setting where the physics mimics that of black hole Hawking radiation. Chen and Mourou proposed a novel method to realize such a system by traversing an ultra-intense laser through a plasma target with a decreasing density. An international AnaBHEL Collaboration has been formed with the objectives of observing the analog Hawking radiation and shedding light on the information loss paradox.

  We report a fermionic lattice-model-type realization of an analogue black hole by using a chain of 10 superconducting transmon qubits with interactions mediated by 9 transmon-type tunable couplers. The quantum walks of quasi-particle in the curved spacetime reflect the gravitational effect near the black hole, resulting in the behaviour of stimulated Hawking radiation.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

  We propose an analog simulator for discrete 2D quantum chemistry models based on cold atoms in optical lattices. We first analyze how to simulate simple models, like the discrete versions of H and H$+$, using a single fermionic atom. We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.

  We report on experimental tests of topological defect formation via the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model. We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
