Quantum Potential Approach to Quantum Cosmology

Arkadiusz Błaut, Jerzy Kowalski-Glikman

Published Jun 30, 1995• 1 citation
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the quantum potential approach of Bohm in the context of quantum cosmological model. This approach makes it possible to convert the wavefunction of the universe to a set of equations describing the time evolution of the universe. Following Ashtekar et.\ al., we make use of quantum canonical transformation to cast a class of quantum cosmological models to a simple form in which they can be solved explicitly, and then we use the solutions to recover the time evolution.

The Time Evolution of Quantum Universe in the Quantum Potential Picture

We use the quantum potential approach to analyse the quantum cosmological model of the universe. The quantum potential arises from exact solutions of the full Wheeler-De Witt equation.

Quintom potentials from quantum cosmology

J. Socorro, Paulo A. Rodríguez

We derive a special of scalar field quintom potential using the isotropic flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model from canonical quantum cosmology under determined conditions in the evolution of our universe, using the Bohmian formalism. We obtain a family of potentials corresponding to the most probable to study the inflation phenomenon. Also we present exact solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equations in closed form.

Quantum Potential and Cosmological Singularities

Sang Pyo Kim

We apply the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the quantum FRW cosmological model with a minimal massless scalar field. We find that the quantum FRW cosmological model has quantum potential dominated solutions that avoid the initial and the final cosmological singularities. It is suggested that the quantum potential and the back-reaction of geometry and matter fields may change the property of the cosmological singularities of the Universe. 1 E-mail: sangkim@knusun1.kunsan.ac.kr 1 Introduction One of the most prominent classical-mechanical problems that quantum mechanics can solve is the classical singularity. For example, an electron of an atom suffers from the instability that due to the infinitely negative Coulomb potential and the electron in a zero-momentum state should fall into the infinite potential 2 . In quantum mechanics, however, the s-wavefunction (zero orbital angular momentum state) of the electron has zero probability at the singula...

QUANTUM POTENTIAL INTERPRETATION OF THE WHEELER-DeWITT EQUATION

TSUTOMU HORIGUCHI

We apply Bohm’s quantum potential interpretation to quantum cosmology. We study closed, flat and open minisuperspace models by introducing “extended” Robertson-Walker time which exists not only in classically allowed region but also in classically forbidden region. It is shown that how the classical universe emerges from the quantum area. We also discuss briefly quantum potential interpretation of quantum geometrodynamics based on the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner canonical formalism.

The Bohm Interpretation of Quantum Cosmology

Nelson Pinto-Neto

I make a review on the aplications of the Bohm-De Broglie interpretation of quantum mechanics to quantum cosmology. In the framework of minisuperspaces models, I show how quantum cosmological effects in Bohm's view can avoid the initial singularity, isotropize the Universe, and even be a cause for the present observed acceleration of the Universe. In the general case, we enumerate the possible structures of quantum space and time.
