abstract = {False vacuum decay—the transition from a metastable
quantum state to a true vacuum state—plays an important
role in quantum field theory and non-equilibrium phenomena
such as phase transitions and dynamical metastability. The
non-perturbative nature of false vacuum decay and the
limited experimental access to this process make it
challenging to study, leaving several open questions
regarding how true vacuum bubbles form, move and interact.
Here we observe quantized bubble formation in real time, a
key feature of false vacuum decay dynamics, using a quantum
annealer with 5,564 superconducting flux qubits. We develop
an effective model that captures both initial bubble
creation and subsequent interactions, and remains accurate
under dissipation. The annealer reveals coherent scaling
laws in the driven many-body dynamics for more than 1,000
intrinsic qubit time units. This work provides a method for
investigating false vacuum dynamics of large quantum systems
in quantum annealers.},
