Description
I review a number of theoretical results suggesting that gravitational (notably, cosmological) dynamics can be reproduced in the hydrodynamic regime of quantum many-body systems, and argue for a change in perspective (based on a relational understanding of spacetime physics and on these recent results) on what analogue simulations should strive for, to reproduce cosmology also in the lab. More precisely, I argue that hydrodynamics on minisuperspace (or a non-linear extension of quantum cosmology) represents both a coarse-grained approximation of quantum gravity physics and the starting point to describe cosmological dynamics, to be reproduced in the lab.
