Superpositions of the cosmological constant allow for singularity resolution and unitary evolution in quantum cosmology
read the original abstract
A novel approach to quantization is shown to allow for superpositions of the cosmological constant in isotropic and homogeneous mini-superspace models. Generic solutions featuring such superpositions display unitary evolution and resolution of the classical singularity. Physically well-motivated cosmological solutions are constructed. These particular solutions exhibit characteristic features of a cosmic bounce including universal phenomenology that can be rendered insensitive to Planck-scale physics in a natural manner.

Boundary conditions and Hilbert spaces in no-roll quantum cosmology
In no-roll quantum cosmology, fixing the integration constant for potential energy yields a one-dimensional Hilbert space selecting Vilenkin's tunnelling wavefunction, while arbitrary values permit an infinite-dimensi...
