False vacuum decay in quantum mechanics and four dimensional scalar field theory
2018 · cited by 3
Paper [4] develops techniques for calculating false vacuum decay rates within four-dimensional scalar field theory using bounce solutions.

The analysis

Papers [4] and [5] directly discuss and utilize instanton theory or bounce solutions to calculate and observe false vacuum decay in quantum field theories and related systems. The remaining papers cover unrelated topics such as analogue gravity, topological insulators, primordial black holes, and black hole microstates, leaving no contradictory evidence.

Observation of Temperature Effects on False Vacuum Decay in Atomic Quantum Gases.
2025 · cited by 0
Paper [5] measures false vacuum decay in atomic quantum gases and notes that the decay rate scales as predicted by instanton theory.
