Entanglement masquerading in the CMB
Arsalan Adil, Andreas Albrecht, Rose Baunach +3
The simplest single-field inflation models capture all the relevant contributions to the patterns in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observed today. A key assumption in these…
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…
Generating Entangled Inflationary Quantum States
R. Holman, Benoit J. Richard
Entangled inflationary quantum states offer an interesting alternative to the standard Bunch-Davies vacuum. While they can be viewed from the point of view of a theory of effective…
A Spinodal Solution to Swampland Inflationary Constraints
R. Holman, B. Richard
We show how the inclusion of non-perturbative, {\em dynamical} quantum effects on the evolution of the inflaton can allow for an inflationary phase that is both consistent with cos…
Spinodal Backreaction During Inflation and Initial Conditions
Benoit J. Richard, McCullen Sandora
We investigate how long wavelength inflationary fluctuations can cause the background field to deviate from classical dynamics. For generic potentials, we show that, in the Hartree…
Spinodal Instabilities and Super-Planckian Excursions in Natural Inflation
Andreas Albrecht, R. Holman, Benoit J. Richard
Models such as Natural Inflation that use Pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons (PNGB's) as the inflaton are attractive for many reasons. However, they typically require trans-Planckian fi…
