I recently gave the inaugural talk for the qmeets series, titled Capturing Black Holes and the Early Universe in the Lab, together with Silke Weinfurtner. This event marked the launch of qmeets, a new platform dedicated to fostering discussions at the intersection of quantum science, fundamental physics, and beyond. In our talk, we explored how fluids can be used to simulate black holes and the early Universe. By recreating analogue systems in the lab, we aim to deepen our understanding of fundamental physics and open new avenues for quantum technologies.

qmeets serves as a new space for ideas exchange and I am grateful to Tobi Haas for the opportunity to deliver the very first talk! If you missed the live event, you can watch the recording below—hope you enjoy it!
