Constructing an entangled state in Heisenberg picture for inflationary cosmology

Abstract

The effects of the entanglement of the inflaton field which initially entangled with those of another field on observables like power spectrum are known in the context of the Schr\"odinger field theory. To clarify this effect in Heisenberg picture, there were some attempts to construct the initial entangled state by making use of an entangled transformation (like Bogoliubov transformation) between the Bunch-Davies vacuums and squeezed states. We study the role of the time-dependent entangled transformation in the Schr\"odinger field theory. We derive the relation between two vacuum states which their mode functions are transformed by the entangled transformation in Schr\"odinger picture. We discuss that the time-dependency of the entanglement parameter is inevitable and only in the first order of the entanglement parameter perturbation this time-dependency vanishes. We study the entangled transformation in the Heisenberg picture in term of the entangled parameter which appears in the entangled state in Schr\"odinger picture.
