Classical universe emerging from quantum cosmology without horizon and flatness problems

M. Fathi, S. Jalalzadeh, Paulo Vargas Moniz

We apply the complex de Broglie–Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics in Chou and Wyatt (Phys Rev A 76: 012115, 2007 ), Gozzi (Phys Lett B 165: 351, 1985 ), Bhalla et al. (Am J Phys 65: 1187, 1997 ) to a spatially closed homogeneous and isotropic early universe whose matter contents are radiation and dust perfect fluids. We then show that an expanding classical universe can emerge from an oscillating (with complex scale factor) quantum universe without singularity. Furthermore, the universe obtained in this process has no horizon or flatness problems.

Minisuperspace Quantum Cosmology in the Madelung–Bohm Formalism

V.E. Kuzmichev, V. V. Kuzmichev

An analogy between non-relativistic quantum mechanics in the Madelung formulation and quantum geometrodynamics in the case of the maximally symmetric space is drawn. The equations equivalent to the continuity equation and the hydrodynamic Euler equation describing the evolution of the velocity introduced for the case of hypothetical fluid flow characterizing the cosmological system are obtained. It is shown that the perfect nature of the fluid is broken by the quantum Bohm potential. The quantum potential is calculated in the semi-classical approximation for different forces acting in the system both in standard quantum mechanics and in the minisuperspace model of quantum geometrodynamics. The explicit dependences of the cosmic scale factor on the conformal time, which account for the quantum additive, are found for the empty space with spatial curvature and for a spatially flat universe with dust and radiation.
