The production of Hawking radiation by a single horizon is not dependent on the high-frequency dispersion relation of the radiated field. When there are two horizons, however, Corley and Jacobson have shown that superluminal dispersion…

Recent experiments with photons equilibrating inside a dye medium in a cavity have raised the question of whether Bose condensation can occur in a system with only incoherent interaction with phonons in a bath but without particle-particle…
We demonstrate the use of a ring-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate as a rotation sensor by measuring the interference between two counter-propagating phonon modes imprinted azimuthally around the ring. We observe rapid decay of the…
Many bosons can occupy a single quantum state without a limit. This state is described by quantum-mechanical Bose-Einstein statistics, which allows the formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate at low temperatures and high particle densities.…
The difference in the adiabatic indices of photons and non-relativistic baryonic matter in the early Universe causes the electron temperature to be slightly lower than the radiation temperature. Thermalization of photons with a colder…
