Analog model for Euclidean wormholes: Bose-Einstein condensate with dirty surfaces
arXiv:2412.11204
Abstract
We study a Bose-Einstein condensate under the effects of the non-condensate atomic cloud. We model the resulting linear interaction of the condensate with the atomic gas as a quenched disorder. Using the distributional zeta function method, we obtain a representation for the quenched free energy as a series of integral moments of the partition function. Assuming that the Bose-Einstein condensate is confined between two planar surfaces, we show that random surface fields generate non-local terms in the effective action. The non-local effects in this condensed matter system define an analog model of a Euclidean wormhole. The leading contribution of the non-local interactions to the Casimir pressure is obtained.
