  bibo_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.@eng
