We consider the gravity field of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a quantum superposition. The gravity field then is also in a quantum superposition which is in principle observable. Hence we have ``quantum gravity'' far away from the…

We study dynamical processes in coherently coupled atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. Josephson effects in ring-shaped and dumbbell geometries are theoretically investigated. Conditions for observation of the Josephson effect are revealed.…

The Hawking effect can be understood as a broad kinematic phenomenon associated with mode behavior near a horizon. While astrophysical black holes produce one specific realization of this radiation, this perspective inspires extensive…
