We show that a flowing dielectric medium with a linear response to an external electric field can be used to generate an analog geometry that has many of the formal properties of a Schwarzschild black hole for light rays, in spite of birefringence. We also discuss the possibility of generating these analog black holes in the laboratory.

  1. Smart Holes: Analogue black holes with the right temperature and entropy

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The entropy of a tilted Dirac cone material, integrated across a spatially varying tilt, grows linearly with temperature behind the analogue horizon and can be mapped to BTZ black hole entropy.
