Verifying the observer dependence of quasiparticle counts in the analogue gravity of dilute ultracold quantum gases

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

The quasiparticle content of a quantum field depends on the observer, in particular on its motional state, on the way the observer's detector couples to the quantum field, and on the frequency standard in which the detector carried by the observer measures the quanta to be detected. I review a procedure of making this fundamental property of quantum field theory experimentally manifest using quantum-optical means in Bose-Einstein condensates.
