Abstract

The aim of Quantum Fisher Cosmology is to use the quantum Fisher information about pure de Sitter states to derive model independent observational consequences of the existence of a primordial phase of the Universe of de Sitter accelerated expansion. These quantum features are encoded in a scale dependent quantum cosmological tilt that defines what we can call the de Sitter universality class. The experimental predictions are: i) A phase transition from red into blue tilt at a scale order k=1k= 1 Mpc1^{-1} that naturally solves the cosmological trans-Planckian problem, ii) A spectral index for curvature fluctuations at CMB scales k=0.05k= 0.05 Mpc1^{-1} equal to 0.03280.0328, iii) A tilt running at scale k=0.002k=0.002 Mpc1^{-1} equal to 0.0019-0.0019, iv) An enhancement of the amplitude of CMB peaks for extremely high multipoles (l>105l > 10^5) that can provide a natural mechanism for primordial black hole formation as a source of dark matter, v) A lack of power at scales of 88 Mpc with respect to the CMB scale that can explain the σ8\sigma_8 tension.

Matches accepted version to JCAP. Added a longer explanation on the role of the alpha-vacua and how quantum fisher is evaluated in their presence. Results unchanged
