A recent article [J. Steinhauer, Nat. Phys. 12, 959 (2016)] has reported the observation of quantum Hawking radiation and its entanglement in an analogue black hole. This paper analyses the published evidence, its consistency with theoretical bounds and the statistical significance of the results. The analysis raises severe doubts on the observation of Hawking radiation.

  1. Robustness of analogue Hawking radiation in cavities with moving boundaries

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Thermal Hawking-like radiation in moving-mirror cavities is robust only for selected expanding configurations and low frequencies; all other configurations tested show non-thermal spectra.

  2. Toward the Observation of Entangled Pairs in BEC analogue Expanding Universes

    gr-qc 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Repeated expansion-contraction cycles in a BEC analogue universe should make phonon-pair entanglement detectable at about 2 sigma now and above 3.3 sigma with modest upgrades.
