Dr. Alexander Kruchkov works on the paradigm of replicating attributes of black holes in the context of quantum matter simulations. Quantum phases of matter can be engineered in the way to represent interactions typical to the physics of black holes. The underlying machinery involves using the holographical principle, which projects properties of higher-dimensional black holes on lower-dimensional quantum theories describing interacting quantum matter. By using his experience in low-dimensional quantum materials, theory of dispersionless electronic states, and training in experimental condensed matter, Dr. Kruchkov works towards constructing replicant black holes in quantum matter experiments. The goal is to open routes for novel experimental studies of ultraquantum matter, which could be used for deeper understanding of modern models for Quantum Gravity. Constructing playgrounds for analogue gravity will help us exploring black hole horizons in the cost-effective roomscale experiments, an exposition of Quantum Gravity open for outreach.
