This article reviews the properties of the quantum state of inflationary perturbations. After a brief description of the inflationary background, the wavefunction of the Mukhanov-Sasaki variable is calculated and shown to be that of a strongly squeezed state. The corresponding Wigner function and density matrix, which are convenient tools to characterize the properties of a quantum state, are also evaluated. Finally, the issue of definite outcomes for inflation is discussed.

  1. Stochastic inflation and non-perturbative power spectrum beyond slow roll

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A numerical stochastic ΔN code reproduces the slow-roll power spectrum and shows that the time-independent non-perturbative spectrum fails at ultra-slow-roll transitions.
