Quantum state evolution in an environment of cosmological perturbations

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2021-04-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

We study the pure and thermal states of quantized scalar and tensor perturbations in various epochs of Universe evolution. We calculate the density matrix of non-relativistic particles in an environment of these perturbations. We show that particle's motion can be described by a stochastic equation with a noise coming from the cosmological environment. We investigate the squeezing of Gaussian wave packets in different epochs and its impact upon the noise of quantized cosmological perturbations.
