We study the nucleation of a vacuum bubble via the vacuum‐to‐vacuum tunneling transition in curved spacetime. We consider Coleman‐de Luccia’s semiclassical approximation at zero temperature in pure Einstein theory of gravity and the theory with nonminimal coupling. We discuss the dynamics of a nucleated vacuum bubble.
