The goal of this contribution is to present the properties of a class of quantum bouncing
models in which the quantum bounce originates from the Dirac canonical quantization of a …

This chapter focuses on canonical quantum gravity and discusses how many conceptual
problems, such as the measurement problem and the problem of time, can be overcome by …

We investigate cosmological scenarios containing one canonical scalar field with an
exponential potential in the context of bouncing models, in which the bounce happens due …

We investigate scalar particle creation in a set of bouncing models where the bounce occurs
due to quantum cosmological effects described by the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. The scalar …

In the context of de Broglie–Bohm pilot-wave theory, violations of the Born rule are allowed
and can be considered as describing non-equilibrium distributions. We study the effects of …

Certain features in the primordial scalar power spectrum are known to improve the fit to the
cosmological data. We examine whether bouncing scenarios can remain viable if future data …

Matter bounces refer to scenarios wherein the universe contracts at early times as in a
matter dominated epoch until the scale factor reaches a minimum, after which it starts …

We review the de Broglie–Bohm quantum theory. It is an alternative description of quantum
phenomena in accordance with all the quantum experiments already performed. Essentially …

In a recent work, we constructed a model consisting of two fields—a canonical scalar field
and a noncanonical ghost field—that sourced a symmetric matter bounce scenario. The …

We address the issue of fermionic particle creation in cosmological bouncing models
governed by general relativity, but where the bounce itself takes place due to quantum …
