Abstract
⺠Lightcone fluctuations, quantum fluctuations of the effective speed of light, are a feature of quantum gravity. ⺠Nonlinear dielectrics have a variable speed of light, analogous to the effects of gravity. ⺠Fluctuating electric fields create the effect of lightcone fluctuations in a nonlinear material. ⺠We propose to use squeezed light in a nonlinear material as an analog model of lightcone fluctuations. ⺠Variation in the speed of propagation of pulses is the observational signature of lightcone fluctuations.
