The statistical properties of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies, which reflect the curvature inhomogeneities of the early Universe, are well-accounted for by assuming that these inhomogeneities emerged from amplified vacuum fluctuations. As they result from a genuine quantum process, it is natural to question which properties of these primordial inhomogeneities are inherently...
Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz (HL) gravity generates scale-invariant primordial density fluctuations and gravitational waves (PGWs) without requiring inflation. We investigate the quantum nature of PGWs within HL gravity. While inflationary models suggest the non-classicality (squeezed coherent state) of PGWs might be detectable via Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) interferometry, we explore this possibility...
Scalar-induced gravitational waves (SIGWs) are produced nonlinearly by enhanced curvature perturbations and serve as a promising probe of primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) in the early Universe. In this talk, I will present our systematic study of local-type PNG imprints on the SIGW background. I will introduce a “renormalized” diagrammatic approach we developed, which simplifies calculations...
In this talk, we present a quantum algorithm for numerically solving the Fokker-Planck equation that describes the stochastic processes in cosmology. In particular, we consider the discretization in which time evolution is represented via (sub-)stochastic transition matrices. Based on this discretization, the computation of time evolution of the numerical solution to the Fokker-Planck equation...
