Quantum field simulator for dynamics in curved spacetime

C Viermann, M Sparn, N Liebster, M Hans, E Kath… - nature, 2022 - nature.com
In most cosmological models, rapid expansion of space marks the first moments of the
Universe and leads to the amplification of quantum fluctuations. The description of …

Dynamics and statistical mechanics of ultra-cold Bose gases using c-field techniques

PB Blakie, AS Bradley, MJ Davis, RJ Ballagh… - Advances in …, 2008 - Taylor & Francis
We review phase-space techniques based on the Wigner representation that provide an

A rapidly expanding Bose-Einstein condensate: an expanding universe in the lab

S Eckel, A Kumar, T Jacobson, IB Spielman… - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
We study the dynamics of a supersonically expanding, ring-shaped Bose-Einstein
condensate both experimentally and theoretically. The expansion redshifts long-wavelength …

Pioneer countries in the transition to alternative transport fuels: Comparison of ethanol programmes and policies in Brazil, Malawi and Sweden

FX Johnson, S Silveira - Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions, 2014 - Elsevier
Efforts to develop alternative transport fuels and vehicles are found in countries varying

Acoustic analog to the dynamical Casimir effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate

JC Jaskula, GB Partridge, M Bonneau, R Lopes… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
We have modulated the density of a trapped Bose-Einstein condensate by changing the trap
stiffness, thereby modulating the speed of sound. We observe the creation of correlated …

Numerical observation of Hawking radiation from acoustic black holes in atomic Bose–Einstein condensates
