Exciting clues to isotropic cosmic birefringence have recently been detected in the EB cross-power spectra of the polarization data of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Early Dark Energy (EDE) models with a pseudoscalar field coupled to photons via a Chern-Simons term can be used to explain this phenomenon, and can also potentially be used to simultaneously resolve the H0 tension. In this...
