The experimental observation of intense light emission by acoustically driven, periodically collapsing bubbles of air in water (sonoluminescence) has yet to receive an adequate explanation. One of the most intriguing ideas is that the…
We formulate a stochastic generalisation of the Schwinger effect, extending pair production to statistically fluctuating gauge-field backgrounds. Our approach captures realistic field configurations that are transient, inhomogeneous, and…

Sonoluminescence (SL) is the phenomenon in which acoustic energy is (partially) transformed into light. It may occur by means of many or just one bubble of gas inside a liquid medium, giving rise to the terms multi-bubble- and single-bubble…
Light emission in sonoluminescence is shown to be a lasing process with a wide gain bandwidth. Population inversion of the gas molecules inside the bubble is achieved by hydrodynamical pumping. Analytic expressions are derived for the…

We describe and test a family of new numerical methods to solve the Schrodinger equation in self-gravitating systems, e.g. Bose-Einstein condensates or 'fuzzy'/ultra-light scalar field dark matter. The methods are finite-volume Godunov…
Sonoluminescence is the intriguing phenomenon of strong light flashes from tiny bubbles in a liquid. The bubbles are driven by an ultrasonic wave and need to be filled with noble gas atoms. Approximating the emitted light by blackbody…

We generalise the two-sided Bogoliubov inequality for classical particles from [L. Delle Site et al., J.Stat.Mech.Th.Exp. 083201 (2017)] to systems of quantum particles. As in the classical set-up, the inequality leads to upper and lower…
