Creation of a black hole bomb instability in an electromagnetic system

Marion Cromb, Maria Chiara Braidotti, Andrea Vinante +2

The amplification and generation of electromagnetic radiation by a rotating metallic or lossy cylinder, first theorized by Zeldovich in the 1970s, is tightly connected to the conce…

Generating quantum non-local entanglement with mechanical rotations

Marko Toroš, Maria Chiara Braidotti, Swain Ashutosh +3

Recent experiments have searched for evidence of the impact of non-inertial motion on the entanglement of particles. The success of these endeavours has been hindered by the fact t…

Amplification of electromagnetic waves by a rotating body

M. C. Braidotti, A. Vinante, M. Cromb +3

In 1971, Zel'dovich predicted the amplification of electromagnetic (EM) waves scattered by a rotating metallic cylinder, gaining mechanical rotational energy from the body. Since t…

Experimental observation of violent relaxation and the formation of out-of-equilibrium quasi-stationary states

M. Lovisetto, M. C. Braidotti, R. Prizia +6

Large scale structures in the Universe, ranging from globular clusters to entire galaxies, are the manifestation of relaxation to out-of-equilibrium states that are not described b…

Measurement of Penrose superradiance in a photon superfluid

Maria Chiara Braidotti, Radivoje Prizia, Calum Maitland +6

The superradiant amplification in the scattering from a rotating medium was first elucidated by Sir Roger Penrose over 50 years ago as a means by which particles could gain energy…

Penrose Superradiance in Nonlinear Optics

Maria Chiara Braidotti, Daniele Faccio, Ewan M. Wright

Particles or waves scattered from a rotating black hole can be amplified through the process of Penrose superradiance, though this cannot currently be observed in an astrophysical…
