We study observational consequences of the model for dark energy proposed in [1]. We assume our universe has been created by bubble nucleation, and consider quantum fluctuations of an ultralight scalar field. Residual effects of fluctuations generated in an ancestor vacuum (de Sitter space in which the bubble was formed) is interpreted as dark energy. Its equation of state parameter wDE(z) has a characteristic form, approaching −1 in the future, but −1/3 in the past. A novel feature of our model is that dark energy effectively increases the magnitude of the negative spatial curvature in the evolution of the Hubble parameter, though it does not alter the definition of the angular diameter distance. We perform Fisher analysis to forecast the constraints for our model from future galaxy surveys by Square Kilometre Array and Euclid, and point out that our model can be distinguished from the usual ΛCDM model for reasonable choices of the parameters. Due to degeneracy between dark energy and the spatial curvature, it might be difficult to fully determine the model parameters by galaxy surveys alone, but combination with other independent observations, such as CMB, will greatly improve the chance of determining them.
