Hi everyone. Can anyone help with this thought. What was the quantum state at t=0 or at the big bang. I thank you very much for your help.

There are two ways to view it. We need to apply quantum mechanics to the very first instant.

You can say the quantum state was in a state of superpositioning, meaning that every possible state of the universe arose side-by-side. A different way is to state there was no definite state, considering alone the wave function of the universe had no collapsed.
