Ergoregion instability of a rotating quantum system

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2018-07-23 v1

Abstract

Using the analogy between acoustic perturbations in an ideal fluid and the description of a Klein-Gordon scalar field in a curved spacetime, we study the quasinormal modes of a quantum system: the rotating Bose-Einstein condensate. To compute quasinormal frequencies, we use two different numerical techniques, namely the direct integration and the continued-fraction methods. We study in detail the ergoregion instability of this linearly perturbed system, comparing the results with different setup configurations.
