Localized Horizon Modes Partnered to Acoustic Hawking Emission in a Bose-Einstein Condensate

ORAL

Abstract

We consider a superfluid condensate with a quasi-one-dimensional flow possessing an acoustic event horizon. In addition to the production of sonic Hawking radiation we find components of the eigenmodes which are localized onto the exterior of the sonic black-hole. The physical significance of these localized modes is discussed, with a particular emphasis on how they may affect the entanglement structure and information capacity of the sonic black-hole.
