The Tunneling Potential Formalism offers an alternative to the Euclidean bounce formalism for computing tunneling actions, which determine the decay of metastable vacua in quantum field theory. In this discussion, I will explore how this formalism can be applied to investigate various other problems, such as bubble-of-nothing decays, ungauged Q-balls, and more.
