TLDR

A science-news post citing Physics 19 describes a 1D lattice of ten rubidium-87 atoms. Two atoms on every other site represent a false vacuum, while one atom hopping to a neighboring site represents a Schwinger pair. The post says the rate tracks effective mass and field, as quantum field theory expects.
