Mimicking black hole event horizons in atomic and solid-state systems
read the original abstract
Holographic quantum matter exhibits an intriguing connection between quantum black holes and more conventional (albeit strongly interacting) quantum many-body systems. This connection is manifested in the study of their thermodynamics,statistical mechanics and many-body quantum chaos. After explaining some of those connections and their significance, we focus on the most promising example to date of holographic quantum matter, the family of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models. Those are simple quantum mechanical models that are thought to realize, holographically, quantum black holes. We review and assess various proposals for experimental realizations of the SYK models. Such experimental realization offers the exciting prospect of accessing black hole physics, and thus addressing many mysterious questions in quantum gravity, in tabletop experiments.
