Black holes in Bose-Einstein condensates

The sonic analogue of a gravitational black hole in dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensates is investigated. It is shown that there
exist both dynamically stable and unstable configurations which, in the hydrodynamic limit, exhibit a behavior completely
analogous to that of gravitational black holes. The dynamical instabilities involve creation of quasiparticle pairs in positive and
negative energy states, just as in the well-known suggested mechanism for black hole evaporation. We have also simulated the
creation of a stable sonic black hole by solving the full Gross-Pitaevskii equation numerically for a condensate in which its
characteristic parameters are changed adiabatically. A sonic black hole could in this way be created experimentally with
state-of-the-art or planned technology.
