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…
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…
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…
