dc.descriptionMeasurements of the mass or angular momentum of a black hole are onerous, particularly if they have to be frequently repeated, as when one is required to transform a black hole to prescribed parameters. Irradiating a black hole of the Kerr-Newman family with scalar or electromagnetic waves provides a way to drive it to prescribed values of its mass, charge and angular momentum without the need to repeatedly measure mass or angular momentum throughout the process. I describe the mechanism, which is based on Zel'dovich-Misner superradiance and its analog for charged black holes. It represents a possible step in the development of preparation procedures for quantum black holes.
