We measured the power spectrum and two-point correlation function for the randomly
fluctuating free surface on the downstream side of a stationary flow with a maximum Froude …

We consider a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) corresponding to a deformation of
the fundamental commutator obtained by adding a term quadratic in the momentum. From …

In this article we argue for the existence of 'analogue simulation'as a novel form of scientific
inference with the potential to be confirmatory. This notion is distinct from the modes of …

We propose to simulate a Dirac field near an event horizon using ultracold atoms in an
optical lattice. Such a quantum simulator allows for the observation of the celebrated Unruh …

Analogue models of gravity, particularly fluid mechanical analogues, have been very
successful in mimicking the behavior of fields around black holes. However, hydrodynamic …

To demarcate the limits of experimental knowledge, we probe the limits of what might be
called an experiment. By appeal to examples of scientific practice from astrophysics and …

Analogue experiments have attracted interest for their potential to shed light on inaccessible
domains. For instance,'dumb holes' in fluids and Bose–Einstein condensates, as analogues …

In a draining rotating fluid flow background, surface perturbations behave as a scalar field
on a rotating effective black hole spacetime. We propose a new model for the background …

We present a Bayesian analysis of the epistemology of analogue experiments with particular
reference to Hawking radiation. First, we prove that such experiments can be confirmatory in …
