In this Letter we propose to simulate acoustic black holes with ions in rings. If the ions are rotating with a stationary and inhomogeneous velocity profile, regions can appear where the ion velocity exceeds the group velocity of the phonons. In these regions phonons are trapped like light in black holes, even though we have a discrete field theory and a nonlinear dispersion relation. We study the appearance of Hawking radiation in this setup and propose a scheme to detect it.

The Quantum Memory Matrix: A Unified Framework for the Black Hole Information Paradox.
Entropy (Basel)
November 2024
Terra Quantum AG, Kornhausstrasse 25, 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland.
We present the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) hypothesis, which addresses the longstanding Black Hole Information Paradox rooted in the apparent conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and General Relativity (GR). This paradox raises the question of how information is preserved during black hole formation and evaporation, given that Hawking radiation appears to result in information loss, challenging unitarity in quantum mechanics. The QMM hypothesis proposes that space-time itself acts as a dynamic quantum information reservoir, with quantum imprints encoding information about quantum states and interactions directly into the fabric of space-time at the Planck scale.

Stephen Hawking's Warning on Contacting Aliens: A Physics Perspective on the Intelligence Trap.
J Biomed Phys Eng
October 2024
Department of Radiation Oncology Edward Hines Jr VA Hospital Hines, Illinois, United States.
Article Synopsis
- The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) poses ethical and safety concerns, especially regarding how to communicate with alien civilizations.
- Notable physicist Stephen Hawking warned that reaching out to extraterrestrials could be dangerous for humanity, highlighting the unpredictability of their intentions.
- The debate around initiating contact is complex, involving a balance between scientific curiosity and safety, and raises questions about cognitive biases, as suggested by the "Intelligence Trap" concept.
Multipartite Correlations in Parikh-Wilczek Non-Thermal Spectrum.

Innovation Academy for Precision Measurement Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430071, China.
In this study, we systematically investigate the multipartite correlations in the process of black hole radiation via the Parikh-Wilczek tunneling model. We examine not only the correlations among Hawking radiations but also the correlations between the emissions and the remainder of the black hole. Our findings indicate that the total correlation among emitted particles continues to increase as the black hole evaporates.

A black hole evaporates by Hawking radiation. Each mode of that radiation is thermal. If the total state is nevertheless to be pure, modes must be entangled.
