Key points

  • It calculated the quantum states of tensor perturbations and test-scalar-field perturbations prepared when a wineglass-shaped wormhole creates a new universe.
  • It showed that the Bunch-Davies vacuum is reproduced at short wavelengths, while wormhole-charge-dependent deviations arise at long wavelengths.
  • These deviations leave small shifts and oscillations in the angular power spectrum produced by the subsequent inflation.
  • As the charge approaches 0, scalar and tensor deviations are suppressed, providing evidence that the topological transition to a no-boundary instanton is smooth.
  • These are cosmological predictions derived from idealized wormhole geometry and test-field calculations, not detections of signals in actual observational data.
