Horizon Quantum Mechanics: a hitchhiker's guide to quantum black holes
R. Casadio, A. Giugno, O. Micu
It is congruous with the quantum nature of the world to view the space-time geometry as an emergent structure that shows classical features only at some observational level. One ca…
Minimum length effects in black hole physics
Roberto Casadio, Octavian Micu, Piero Nicolini
We review the main consequences of the possible existence of a minimum measurable length, of the order of the Planck scale, on quantum effects occurring in black hole physics. In p…
Black holes as self-sustained quantum states, and Hawking radiation
Roberto Casadio, Andrea Giugno, Octavian Micu +1
We employ the recently proposed formalism of the "horizon wave-function" to investigate the emergence of a horizon in models of black holes as Bose-Einstein condensates of graviton…
Quantum hoop conjecture: Black hole formation by particle collisions
Roberto Casadio, Octavian Micu, Fabio Scardigli
We address the issue of (quantum) black hole formation by particle collision in quantum physics. We start by constructing the horizon wave-function for quantum mechanical states re…
Minimum black hole mass from colliding Gaussian packets
R. Casadio, O. Micu, A. Orlandi
We study the formation of a black hole in the collision of two Gaussian packets. Rather than following their dynamical evolution in details, we assume a horizon forms when the mass…
Brane-world black holes and the scale of gravity
G. L. Alberghi, R. Casadio, O. Micu +1
A particle in four dimensions should behave like a classical black hole if the horizon radius is larger than the Compton wavelength or, equivalently, if its degeneracy (measured by…
