End state of the experimental black-hole bomb
Patrik Švančara, Leonardo Solidoro, Pietro Smaniotto +10
Rotating black holes can amplify incident waves through superradiant scattering. When these waves are confined, repeated amplification gives rise to the black-hole bomb instability…
When is a sloshing vortex an analogue black hole bomb?
Sam Patrick, Leonardo Solidoro, Maurício Richartz +4
Draining vortices provide a powerful platform for simulating black hole phenomena in tabletop experiments. In realistic fluid systems confined within a finite container, low-freque…
Rabi oscillations with close-range quantum vortex states
Sam Patrick
Quantum vortices separated through distances much larger than their core size interact via their long-range velocity field. At smaller separations, however, the influence of the co…
Ultra slow-roll with a black hole
Lewis Croney, Ruth Gregory, Sam Patrick
We investigate ultra slow-roll inflation with a seed black hole in a de Sitter background. By numerically tracking transitions from slow-roll to ultra slow-roll inflation, we find…
A primer on the analogue black hole bomb with capillary-gravity waves
Sam Patrick, Theo Torres
Draining vortices with a free surface are frequently employed as rotating black hole simulators, both in theory and experiments. However, most theoretical work is restricted to the…
On the origin of quasinormal modes in semi-open systems
Leonardo Solidoro, Sam Patrick, Ruth Gregory +1
Astrophysical black holes are open systems which, when perturbed, radiate quasi-normal modes (QNMs) to infinity. By contrast, laboratory analogues are necessarily finite-sized, pre…
The sounds of science a symphony for many instruments and voices part II
Gerard t Hooft, William D Phillips, Anton Zeilinger +22
Despite its amazing quantitative successes and contributions to revolutionary technologies, physics currently faces many unsolved mysteries ranging from the meaning of quantum mech…
Quantum vortex stability in draining fluid flows
Sam Patrick
Quantum vortices with more than a single circulation quantum are usually unstable and decay into clusters of smaller vortices. One way to prevent the decay is to place the vortex a…
Quasinormal Modes of Optical Solitons
Christopher Burgess, Sam Patrick, Theo Torres +2
Quasinormal modes (QNMs) are essential for understanding the stability and resonances of open systems, with increasing prominence in black hole physics. We present here the first s…
