Quantum simulation of Hawking radiation and curved spacetime with a superconducting on-chip black hole

Posted in computing, cosmology, quantum physics

Recently, the theory of Hawking radiation of a black hole has been tested in several analogue platforms. Shi et al. report a fermionic-lattice model realization of an analogue black hole using a chain of superconducting transmon qubits with tuneable couplers and show the stimulated Hawking radiation.
