Abstract

The large scale structure in the present universe arose from the quantum uctuation of an inaton field in inationary era. In the theory of structure formation, the initial perturbation is described by a classical distribution function. If the perturbation has a purely quantum correlation, or entanglement, they cannot be described by classical distribution function. Therefore, the entanglement in perturbation must disappear. We have investigated the condition that the entanglement between a field in two regions on space disappears. We found that in the limit of large e-folding number, the entanglement depends on the distance between the two regions, but does not depend on time. The distance at which the entanglement disappears depends on the model of background spacetime and the mass of the field.
