The inflationary cosmology is analyzed from the point of view of squeezed quantum states. As noted by Grishchuk and Sidorov, the amplification of quantum fluctuations into macroscopic perturbations which occurs during cosmic inflation is a process of quantum squeezing. We carefully develop the squeezed state formalism and derive the equations that govern the evolution of a gaussian initial state. We derive the power spectrum of density perturbations for a simple inflationary model and discuss its features. We conclude that the squeezed state formalism provides an interesting framework within which to study the amplification process, but,in disagreement with the claims of Grishchuk and Sidorov, that it does {\em not} provide us with any new physical results.

Suppressed Quantum Effects of Weakly Coupled Waves
Nonclassical (quantum) signatures of weakly coupled waves are suppressed by an extra power of the tiny conversion efficiency η (~10^-21 for axions, ~10^-33 for gravitons), so experiments cannot establish the quantizat...

Squeezed Gravitons and One-Loop Self-Energy under Light-Cone Smearing
Gravitons in different quantum states smear the light cone via operator treatment of Synge's world function, regularizing UV singularities in phi^3 and phi^4 one-loop diagrams with a 10^{-10} correction from primordia...

Entanglement, Discord, and Residual Coherence in Scalar-Induced Gravitational Waves
Residual anomalous coherence in scalar perturbations imprints on scalar-induced tensor modes, producing a correlated gravitational-wave background with nontrivial covariance and phase structure instead of a simple spe...

Geometric noise spectrum in interferometers
The noise spectrum an interferometer would see from quantum spacetime jitter is computed for vacuum, thermal, squeezed, and scalar-backreaction states; all are Planck-suppressed.

Inflationary Decoherence from the Gravitational Floor
Gravitational self-interactions alone decohere super-Hubble inflationary fluctuations with purity loss growing as (aH/k)^5, faster than the a^3 growth of earlier calculations.

Manifestation of quantum entanglement between harmonic oscillators in de Sitter
In de Sitter space, two harmonic oscillators coupled by a massless scalar field develop late-time entanglement that is sizeable when frequency and separation are near the Hubble scale, and tiny otherwise.

A mechanism for formation of Bose-Einstein condensation in cosmology
Cosmic expansion causes the final-state momenta in χχ→φφ scattering to shrink, driving the produced φ particles toward a Bose-Einstein condensate.
