Tachyon condensation is a concept from string theory and quantum field theory that involves the dynamics of fields with tachyonic mass, which means they have mass terms that suggest instability. In simpler terms, a tachyon is a hypothetical particle that travels faster than light and is associated with an instability in the vacuum state of a quantum field. The idea of tachyon condensation arises in scenarios where a tachyonic field appears in the spectrum of a theory.
