Measurement of analogue Hawking radiation stimulated by a single photon.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hawking radiation is a fundamental spontaneous phenomenon in which the event horizon of a black hole transforms the vacuum state into a pair of correlated particles: the Hawking radiation and its partner. This emission can also be stimulated by a state other than the vacuum. A similar phenomenon, known as analogue Hawking radiation, has been observed across various physical systems, but experimental realizations have largely remained in the classical regime. This work presents an experimental verification of analogue Hawking radiation stimulated by a single-particle state, producing a verifiably single-photon Hawking output. Using heralded single photons generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing, we stimulate the analogue Hawking effect in an optical fiber. We characterize the resulting Hawking signal by measuring its spectral dependence, intensity scaling, and heralded second-order correlation. Our results establish a platform for exploring quantum correlations and entanglement in analogue gravity.
