Bouncing and quantum theory. (English) Zbl 1264.83055
Summary: In this contribution I will present a review about bouncing models arriving from quantum cosmology and show how one can describe the evolution of quantum cosmological perturbations on them. I will discuss the important role played by the choice of the precise quantum theory one selects to interpret the wave function of the Universe in order to obtain simple equations for the evolution of quantum perturbations on these quantum cosmological backgrounds. I will present the predictions of these models concerning the power spectrum of cosmological perturbations and how they can be compared with the usual results obtained from inflationary models. Finally, I will present the new implications of these results for quantum theory.
