Does Planck Actually "See" the Bunch-Davies State?
Rose Baunach, Nadia Bolis, R. Holman +2
To what extent can the Planck satellite observations be interpreted as confirmation of the quantum part of the inflationary paradigm? Has it "seen" the Bunch-Davies state? We compa…
Non-Gaussianity from Entanglement During Inflation
Nadia Bolis, Andreas Albrecht, R. Holman
We compute the bi-spectrum of CMB temperature fluctuations for a state where the metric perturbation is entangled with a spectator scalar field . Novel terms in the cubic $ζ…
The Parameterized Post-Newtonian-Vainshteinian formalism for the Galileon field
Nadia Bolis, Constantinos Skordis, Daniel B Thomas +1
Recently, an extension to the Parameterized Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism has been proposed. This formalism, the Parameterized Post-Newtonian-Vainshteinian (PPNV) formalism, is we…
Quantum Entanglement in Multi-field Inflation
Nadia Bolis, Tomohiro Fujita, Shuntaro Mizuno +1
We study the emergence of quantum entanglement in multi-field inflation. In this scenario, the perturbations of one field contribute to the observable curvature perturbation, while…
Cosmic Inflation: The Most Powerful Microscope in the Universe
Andreas Albrecht, Nadia Bolis, R. Holman
How well can we constrain the initial quantum state of metric perturbations sourced during inflation? We exhibit an interesting new class of quantum states that entangle the scalar…
Integrated Sachs-Wolfe-galaxy cross-correlation bounds on the two branches of the minimal theory of massive gravity
Nadia Bolis, Antonio De Felice, Shinji Mukohyama
The minimal theory of massive gravity (MTMG) has two branches of stable cosmological solutions: a self-accelerating branch, which, except for the mass of tensor modes has exactly t…
Brane-world extra dimensions in light of GW170817
Luca Visinelli, Nadia Bolis, Sunny Vagnozzi
The search for extra dimensions is a challenging endeavor to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. The joint detection of gravitational waves (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) signa…
Modifications to Cosmological Power Spectra from Scalar-Tensor Entanglement and their Observational Consequences
Nadia Bolis, Andreas Albrecht, R. Holman
We consider the effects of entanglement in the initial quantum state of scalar and tensor fluctuations during inflation. We allow the gauge-invariant scalar and tensor fluctuations…
Cosmological Consequences of Initial State Entanglement
Andreas Albrecht, Nadia Bolis, R. Holman
We explore the cosmological consequences of having the fluctuations of the inflaton field entangled with those of another scalar, within the context of a toy model consisting of no…
