Stefano Liberati "From Analogue to Emergent gravity: lessons and pitfalls"

Thursday 16 May 2019, 15:00 → 16:00 Europe/Rome

Aula Galilei (Ed. C)

The analogue gravity framework uses condensed matter systems to simulate phenomena characteristics of quantum field theory in curved spacetimes (e.g. cosmological particle production or black hole evaporation).  In this seminar I will review the state of this field and explore its extension towards the simulation of the emergent gravity paradigm. In doing so I will discuss lessons and pitfalls as well as the possible phenomenology associated to these models.
