Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 087004 (2009) [4 pages]Analogue Hawking Radiation in a dc-SQUID Array Transmission Line
See accompanying Physics Synopsis We propose the use of a superconducting transmission line formed from an array of direct-current superconducting quantum interference devices for investigating analogue Hawking radiation. Biasing the array with a space-time varying flux modifies the propagation velocity of the transmission line, leading to an effective metric with a horizon. Being a fundamentally quantum mechanical device, this setup allows for investigations of quantum effects such as backreaction and analogue space-time fluctuations on the Hawking process. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
