Description
Thanks to the kinematical analogy between gravity and
hydrodynamical systems, it will be possible to simulate in
laboratory the behavior of some gravitational systems, and
the associated quantum effects. Among them, the Hawking
radiation for black holes, the quantum emission due to
cosmological expansion, the dynamical Casimir effect -so far
with no experimental data confirming their existence- could
be observed in Bose- Einstein condensates in the near
future. To this purpose, the crucial role played by the
measurements of the quantum correlations associated to
each effect is described.
