Abstract

This paper, in honour of David Lee and John Reppy, recounts the use of low-temperature fluids as analogs of gravitational and cosmological systems in their effects on quantum fields in the presence of such changes in the spacetime metric. This includes new results on the use of energy interferometric techniques for the measurement of the thermal equivalence of acceleration in the vacuum state of such fields.
