© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Particle production from the vacuum is a remarkable aspect of particle physics. Prime examples are the Schwinger process of particle production in strong electric fields and the Hawking process of particle production from black holes. These processes can be viewed as quantum tunnelling of particles from the vacuum. The tunnelling approach, and the closely related instanton or complex path approaches, are reviewed here with emphasis on paths in the complex coordinate plane. The method is applied to particle production from a black hole in a magnetic field, where ultra-high energy charged particles are produced.
