- Quantum cosmology - In theoretical physics, quantum cosmology is a young field attempting to study the effect of quantum mechanics on the earliest moments of the universe after the Big Bang. Despite many attempts, the field remains a rather speculative branch of quantum gravity.
- Loop quantum cosmology - Loop quantum cosmology (LQC) is a finite, symmetry reduced model of loop quantum gravity. Study of LQC has led to many successes, including the emergence of a possible mechanism for cosmic inflation, resolution of gravitational singularities as well as development of effective, semi-classical Hamiltonians.
- Quantum gravity epoch - In physical cosmology, the quantum gravity epoch is the first era in the history of the Universe according to the standard Big Bang cosmology. In this era, the effects of quantum gravity such as fluctuating topology of space are commonplace.
- Consistent histories - In quantum mechanics, the consistent histories approach is intended to give a modern interpretation of quantum mechanics, generalising the conventional Copenhagen interpretation and providing a natural interpretation of quantum cosmology. The theory is based on a consistency criterion that then allows the history of a system to be described so that the probabilities for each history obey the rules of classical probability while ...
- Amit Goswami - Amit Goswami is a theoretical nuclear physicist and member of The University of Oregon Institute for Theoretical Physics since 1968, teaching physics for 32 years. After a period of distress and frustration in his private and professional life starting at the age 38, his research interests shifted to quantum cosmology, quantum measurement theory, and applications of quantum mechanics to the mind-body problem.
