Cosmological Geometric Phase From Pure Quantum States: A Study without/ with having Bell's Inequality Violation

In this paper, using the concept of Lewis Riesenfeld invariant quantum operator method for finding continuous eigenvalues of quantum mechanical wave functions we derive the analytical expressions for the cosmological geometric phase, which is commonly identified to be the Pancharatnam Berry phase from primordial cosmological perturbation scenario. We compute this cosmological geometric phase from two possible physical situations, (1) In the absence of Bell's inequality violation and (2) In the presence of Bell's inequality violation having the contributions in the sub Hubble region (-k tau >> 1), super Hubble region (-k tau << 1) and at the horizon crossing point (-k epsilon = 1) for massless field (m/H << 1), partially massless field (m/H similar to 1) and massive/heavy field (m/H >> 1), in the background of quantum field theory of spatially flat quasi De Sitter geometry. The prime motivation for this work is to investigate the various unknown quantum mechanical features of primordial universe. To give the realistic interpretation of the derived theoretical results we express everything initially in terms of slowly varying conformal time dependent parameters, and then to connect with cosmological observation we further express the results in terms of cosmological observables, which are spectral index/tilt of scalar mode power spectrum (n(zeta)) and tensor-to-scalar ratio (r). Finally, this identification helps us to provide the stringent numerical constraints on the Pancharatnam Berry phase, which confronts well with recent cosmological observation.

Automated summary

In this paper, we utilize the Lewis Riesenfeld invariant quantum operator method to find continuous eigenvalues of quantum mechanical wave functions. We derive analytical expressions for the cosmological geometric phase and compute it in different physical situations. The aim of this work is to investigate unknown quantum mechanical features of the primordial universe. The results are expressed in terms of cosmological observables, providing numerical constraints on the Pancharatnam Berry phase that are consistent with recent cosmological observations.
