Quantum matter and gravitation: photons in a waveguide

Abstract

The conditions required by quantum matter to modify space-time geometry are explored within the framework of the general theory of relativity. The required characteristics for space-time modification in solid state structures, are met in either (a) massive photon Bose-Einstein condensate in a waveguide, or (b) the massive photons in superconductor's bulk, or (c) the Bose-Einstein condensate of acoustic phonons, or (d) a metal-insulator-topological insulator heterostructure.
