Abstract

Using the multi-dimensional wave function formalism, we investigate the quantum state of a scalar field inside a true vacuum bubble nucleated through false vacuum decay in flat spacetime. We developed a formalism which allows us a mode-by-mode analysis. To demonstrate its advantage, we describe in detail the evolution of the quantum state during the tunneling process in terms of individual mode functions and interpret the result in the language of particle creation. The spectrum of the created particles is examined based on quantum field theory in the Milne universe.
