We propose to test the concept of seeded vacuum decay in cosmology using an analogue gravity Bose-Einstein condensate system. The role of the nucleation seed is played by a vortex within the condensate. We present two complementary theoretical analyses that demonstrate seeded decay is the dominant decay mechanism of the false vacuum. First, we adapt the standard instanton methods to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Second, we use the truncated Wigner method to study vacuum decay.

Langer's nucleation rate reproduced on the lattice
With a new gradient-descent definition of the metastable phase, lattice simulations reproduce Langer's nucleation rate for the first time in a conservative system.

Analogue gravity with Bose-Einstein condensates
Phonons in a Bose–Einstein condensate behave as a massless scalar field on an acoustic spacetime; these notes derive that mapping in detail and apply it to superradiance and analogue Hawking radiation.
