We propose a method to test the effects of quantum fluctuations on black holes by analyzing the effects of thermal fluctuations on dumb holes, the analogues for black holes. The proposal is based on the Jacobson formalism, where the Einstein field equations are viewed as thermodynamical relations, and so the quantum fluctuations are generated from the thermal fluctuations. It is well known that all approaches to quantum gravity generate logarithmic corrections to the entropy of a black hole and the coefficient of this term varies according to the different approaches to the quantum gravity. It is possible to demonstrate that such logarithmic terms are also generated from thermal fluctuations in dumb holes. In this paper, we claim that it is possible to experimentally test such corrections for dumb holes, and also obtain the correct coefficient for them. This fact can then be used to predict the effects of quantum fluctuations on realistic black holes, and so it can also be used, in principle, to experimentally test the different approaches to quantum gravity.

  1. Quantum-Corrected Thermodynamics and Phase Structure of AdS Euler-Heisenberg Black Hole

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Thermal fluctuation corrections to entropy change the stability and phase structure of an AdS Euler-Heisenberg black hole, producing multiple specific-heat divergences and a stable small-hole phase.
