Quantum simulators for fundamental physics

早期宇宙和黑洞的动力学是广义相对论和量子场之间相互作用的基本反映。基本的物理过程发生在难以观察和不可能实验的情况下：当引力相互作用很强时，量子效应很重要，对这些机制的理论预测是基于实验室测试物理的主要外推。我们将讨论利用量子模拟器在实验中研究这些过程的可能性。它们在动力学、有效几何和场论描述方面的高度可调性，使人们能够在受控的实验室环境中模拟各种难以捉摸的物理现象。我们将利用混合超流体光力学系统开发一种新型的旋转黑洞过程量子模拟器。

The dynamics of the early universe and black holes are fundamental reflections of the interplay between general relativity and quantum fields. The essential physical processes occur in situations that are difficult to observe and impossible to experiment with: when gravitational interactions are strong, quantum effects are important, and theoretical predictions for these regimes are based on major extrapolations of laboratory-tested physics.We will discuss the possibility to study these processes in experiments by employing quantum simulators. Their high degree of tunability, in terms of dynamics, effective geometry, and field theoretical description, allows one to emulate a wide range of elusive physical phenomena in a controlled laboratory setting. We will develop a novel quantum simulator for rotating black hole processes deploying hybrid superfluid optomechanical system.
