论文摘要
模拟物理学成功地解决了染色体动力学，事件视野，大爆炸和宇宙扩展等问题。在这里，我们建议基于近距离梁近似的“时间机”的光子模型系统。我们演示了如何在该系统中实验研究封闭的时间样曲线和著名的祖父悖论。我们展示了Novikov的自洽原则如何在量子力学中实现，这要归功于海森伯格的不确定性原则。
Analogue physics has successfully tackled the problems of chromodynamics, event horizons, Big Bang and Universe expansion, and many others. Here, we suggest a photonic model system for a "time machine" based on the paraxial beam approximation. We demonstrate how the closed time-like curves and the well-known grandfather paradox can be studied experimentally in this system. We show how the Novikov's self-consistency principle is realized in quantum mechanics thanks to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
