Loop quantum cosmology (LQC) [1][2][3][4][5] is a finite, symmetry -reduced model of loop quantum gravity (LQG) that predicts a "quantum bridge" between contracting and expanding …

Dec 5, 2016 · In the last decade, progress on quantization of homogeneous cosmological spacetimes using techniques of loop quantum gravity has led to insights on various …

Jan 20, 2006 · One particular realization is loop quantum cosmology, an application of loop quantum gravity to homogeneous systems, which removes classical singularities. Its …

Jul 2, 2008 · Loop quantum cosmology is based on quantum Riemannian geometry, or loop quantum gravity [254, 23, 293, 256], which is an attempt at a non-perturbative and background …

May 6, 2009 · In recent years, Loop Quantum Gravity has emerged as a solid candidate for a nonperturbative quantum theory of General Relativity. It is a background independent theory …

Aug 15, 2017 · Loop quantum gravity is believed to eliminate singularities such as the big bang and big crunch singularity. This belief is based on studies of so-called loop quantum …

One particular theory is loop quantum cosmology, an application of loop quantum gravity to homogeneous systems, which removes classical singularities. Its implications can be studied …

As an application of loop quantum gravity to cosmology, loop quantum cosmology (LQC) Bojowald (2005a; 2008); Date (2002) also presents itself as a possible path toward answers to …
