  In the curved spacetime of a black hole, quantum physics gives rise to
distinctive effects such as Hawking radiation. Here, we present a scheme for an
analogue quantum simulation of (1 + 1)- dimensional black holes using ultracold
atoms in a locally Floquet-driven 1D optical lattice. We show how the effective
dynamics of the driven system can generate a position-dependent tunnelling
profile that encodes the curved geometry of the black hole. Moreover, we
provide a simple and robust scheme to determine the Hawking temperature of the
simulated black hole based solely on on-site atom population measurements.
Finally, we show how this scheme can be directly applied to simulate (2 + 1)D
black holes by utilising 2D optical lattices. By incorporating the effect of
atom-atom interactions, our simulator can probe the scrambling of quantum
information which is a fundamental property of black holes.
