Imaging the vacuum fluctuations of a quantum field

Yansheng Zhang, Feiyang Wang, Yi Jiang +5

Heisenberg uncertainties lead to inevitable fluctuations in the measurement outcomes for quantum-mechanical observables. For quantum fields, these uncertainties result in random sp…

Evidence for renormalized instantons in real-time simulations of vacuum decay

Emilie Hertig, Alexander C. Jenkins, Hiranya V. Peiris +2

While vacuum decay is traditionally described by Euclidean instanton methods, lattice simulations enable real-time modeling of dynamical observables relevant to cosmology and upcom…

Analog Simulation of Massive Relativistic Quantum Fields in 2 + 1 Dimensions

Yansheng Zhang, Feiyang Wang, Paul H. C. Wong +8

Quantum field theories provide fundamental models of complex interacting systems, from high-energy physics and cosmology to condensed matter. However, solving these models in non-p…

Bubbles in a box: Eliminating edge nucleation in cold-atom simulators of vacuum decay

Alexander C. Jenkins, Hiranya V. Peiris, Andrew Pontzen

The decay of metastable 'false vacuum' states via bubble nucleation plays a crucial role in many cosmological scenarios. Cold-atom analog experiments will soon provide the first em…

Generalized cold-atom simulators for vacuum decay

Alexander C. Jenkins, Ian G. Moss, Thomas P. Billam +3

Cold-atom analog experiments are a promising new tool for studying relativistic vacuum decay, enabling one to empirically probe early-Universe theories in the laboratory. However,…
