Abstract
In the lattice Schrödinger picture, we find the de Broglie–Bohm quantum trajectories for the eigenstates of a generically coupled free real scalar field in de Sitter space. For the massless minimally coupled scalar field which has exact quantum trajectory, we evaluate both the time evolution of vacuum state and the possible effects of initial quantum nonequilibrium on the power spectrum of the primordial inflaton and curvature fluctuations in the slow-roll approximation. We reproduce the results that were already presented by Valentini who considered only the massless minimal coupling case. In addition we cover both massive minimal and massive non-minimal coupling cases which are the extension of Valentini's work. Finally we discuss the difference between de Broglie's first-order dynamics and Bohm's second-order dynamics in finding the quantum trajectories.
