Cosmic inflation may exhibit stochastic periods during which quantum fluctuations dominate over the semi-classical evolution. Extracting observables in these regimes is a notoriously difficult program as quantum randomness makes them fully…
We investigate the dephasing suffered by a nonrelativistic quantum particle within a conformally fluctuating spacetime geometry. Starting from a minimally coupled massive Klein-Gordon field, the low velocity limit yields an effective…
Diffusion theory establishes a fundamental connection between stochastic differential equations and partial differential equations. The solution of a partial differential equation known as the Fokker-Planck equation describes the…
With the decline of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and the recent experiments indicating that quantum mechanics does actually embody 'objective reality', one might ask if a 'mechanical', conceptual model for quantum…
Understanding stochastic inflation, and in particular the systematic computation of controlled corrections from first principles, remains an important open problem. In this work, we address this problem from two complementary perspectives.…
We discuss Einstein-Klein-Gordon system in an environment of an infinite number of scalar fields leading to an external thermal noise. In the lowest order of metric and field perturbations the quadratic fluctuations consist of a sum of…
