Introduction Inflation provides us a mechanism to generate primordial quantum fluctuations that lead to the large scale structures in our present universe. As the present universe is classical, initial quantum fluctuations must lose its quantum nature in course of its evolution (quantum to classical transition). scale wavelength Hubble horizon inflation (de Sitter) 3 time radiation dominant

Evolution of entanglement and quantum correlation in De Sitter radiation dominant universe (lattice model) Quantum fluctuations generated in de Sitter phase lose spatial entanglement when their wavelength exceed the Hubble horizon. Entanglement between adjacent spatial regions remains zero after the universe enters the phase of decelerated expansion. Quantum discord has non-zero value even after the entanglement becomes zero. Asymptotically, quantum discord approaches zero and the zero discord state is attained. scale Hubble horizon zero discord state wavelength total correlation=classical correlation 19 H 1 time
