![The minimum resolvable deficit in a conditional-variance statistic-a measure reflecting the precision with which primordial fluctuations can be discerned-scales inversely with the effective number of usable Fourier modes, though foreground contamination and systematic effects can reduce this precision, and crossing a classical bound defined by [latex]\mathcal{E}^{(\mathrm{cl})}=10^{-2}[/latex] would falsify any classical stochastic description, a threshold potentially within reach of next-generation multi-tracer galaxy surveys and 21 cm intensity mapping experiments where decoherence is parametrically suppressed ([latex]\Gamma\_{\rm dec}\sim g^{2}H\ll H[/latex]).](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.13053v1/x1.png)
New research proposes a way to distinguish between quantum and classical origins of primordial fluctuations by searching for violations of specific inequality constraints in cosmological observations.
