Physicists could soon be able to do simulations of the quantum phase transition that is believed to have occurred in the early universe, thanks to ultracold atom experiments done by Bo Song and colleagues at the University of Cambridge. By shaking an optical lattice of atoms, the team created metastable states associated with discontinuous phase transitions and a process called false vacuum decay.
