Transfer of Quantum Information and Genesis of Superfluid Vacuum in the Pre-Inflationary Universe
We conjecture that during the time period preceding the inflationary epoch, the background matter was initially a condensate formed from a many-body system of indistinguishable particles whose states were in a quantum superposition. This resulted in the occurrence of a statistical ensemble of spacetimes, thus causing the probabilistic uncertainty in the spacetime geometry of the pre-inflationary multiverse. Then, at a certain moment in time, a measurement event occurred, which broke the linear superposition and reduced the primordial geometrical multiverse to a single state. This process can be described as a quantum Shannon information transfer, which induces logarithmic nonlinearity in the evolution equations of the background system. The latter, therefore, transformed into a logarithmic quantum liquid of a superfluid type and formed the physical vacuum. This measurement also generated the primary mass energy necessary for the Universe’s further evolution into the inflationary epoch, followed by the contemporary “dark energy” era.
