Vacuum quantum fluctuations near horizons are known to yield correlated emission by the Hawking effect. We use a driven-dissipative quantum fluid of microcavity polaritons as an analog model of a quantum field theory on a black-hole spacetime and numerically calculate correlated emission. We show that, in addition to the Hawking effect at the sonic horizon, quantum fluctuations may result in a sizeable stationary excitation of a quasi-normal mode of the field theory. Observable signatures of the excitation of the quasi-normal mode are found in the spatial density fluctuations as well as in the spectrum of Hawking emission. This suggests an intrinsic fluctuation-driven mechanism leading to the quantum excitation of quasi-normal modes on black hole spacetimes.

  1. Ergodic Hysteresis of the Kerr black hole spectrum

    gr-qc 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Near-extremal Kerr black holes with massive scalar fields exhibit a cascade of exceptional points that can adiabatically permute arbitrary quasinormal-mode overtones.

  2. Doppler shifted Hawking radiation from acoustic black holes in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Even when the central flow is boost invariant, large-rapidity deviations can slow the acoustic horizon's recession, giving finite redshift Hawking radiation that may affect momentum distributions.
