Cosmological gravitational wave backgrounds (CGWBs) are the conglomeration of unresolved gravitational wave signals from early Universe sources, which make them a promising tool for cosmologists. Because gravitons decouple from the cosmic…
A unified framework is developed for determining whether a gravitational-wave (GW) background behaves as a classical field or as a genuinely quantum environment. Unified here means that both descriptions originate from the same tidal…
