Description

Classical and quantum perturbations can be described in terms of marginal distribution functions in the framework of tomographic cosmology. In particular, the so-called Radon transformation and the mode-parametric quantum oscillator description can give rise to links between quantum and classical regimes. The approach results in a natural scheme to discuss the transition from quantum to classical perturbations and then it could be a workable scheme to connect primordial fluctuations with the large-scale structure observed today.
