Time problem in primordial perturbations
arXiv:2401.06887 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.109.106005
Abstract
We study the non-unitary relation between quantum gravitational models defined using different internal times. We show that despite the non-unitarity, it is possible to provide a prescription for making unambiguous, though restricted, physical predictions independent of specific clocks. To illustrate this result, we employ a model of quantum gravitational waves in a quantum Friedmann universe.
