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…

Digital holographic imaging for free surfaces of superfluid helium

Vitor S. Barroso, Patrik Švančara, Chris Goodwin +9

Visualising the free surface of superfluid helium offers a rare opportunity to explore wave dynamics in the limit of vanishing viscosity. Such measurements are nonetheless challeng…

Black-hole spectroscopy from a giant quantum vortex

Pietro Smaniotto, Leonardo Solidoro, Patrik Švančara +5

Black-hole spectroscopy aims to infer the fundamental properties of black holes by analysing the spectrum of gravitational waves emitted as they settle into equilibrium. These reso…

Rotating Curved Spacetime Signatures from a Giant Quantum Vortex

Patrik Švančara, Pietro Smaniotto, Leonardo Solidoro +5

Gravity simulators are laboratory systems where small excitations like sound or surface waves behave as fields propagating on a curved spacetime geometry. The analogy between gravi…
