Black Holes and Wormholes in spinor polariton condensates
arXiv:1104.3013 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.84.233405
Abstract
We propose a new system for the study of event horizons and black holes - a Bose-Einstein condensate of exciton-polaritons. Hawking radiation from a closed horizon in 2D is observed in numerical experiments. We simulate inter-Universe and intra-Universe wormholes capitalizing on the spinor nature of polariton condensates and on the spin dependence of polariton-polariton interactions.
