Supported by observational evidence indicating that cosmological scalar perturbations were nearly Gaussian at the beginning of the universe, it is anticipated that the origin of these perturbations is quantum fluctuations. Consequently, cosmic inflation provides a valuable laboratory for testing the quantum nature with/of gravity. Evaluation of the quantumness of the primordial perturbations is an inevitable step for the purpose. However, quantum states of the perturbations are suffered from IR/UV divergence, resulting in fully classical states. In this presentation, I will first review the evaluation of the quantum coherence in de Sitter spacetime as a measure of quantumness, and then show how to regularize the divergence.
