Analogue gravity on a superconducting chip

We describe how analogues of a Hawking evaporating black hole as well as the Unruh effect for an oscillatory, accelerating photodetector in vacuum may be realized using superconducting, microwave circuits that are fashioned out of Josephson tunnel junction and film bulk acoustic resonator elements. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'The next generation of analogue gravity experiments'.
