Gravitational waves (GWs) originating from cosmological sources offer direct insights into the physics of the primordial Universe, the fundamental nature of gravity, and the cosmic expansion of the Universe. In this review paper, we present…

We investigate the quantum properties of gravitational waves (GWs) generated by a classical energy-momentum tensor. Treating the GW field as a quantum field coupled to a classical source, we evaluate the expectation value of the GW…
