We go forward in completing the Standard Model of the Universe back in time with Planckian and trans-Planckian physics before inflation in agreement with observations, classical-quantum gravity duality, and quantum space-time. The quantum vacuum energy bends the space-time and produces a constant curvature de Sitter background. We link the de Sitte...

We uncover the general mechanism and the nature of today’s dark energy (DE). This is only based on well-known quantum physics and cosmology. We show that the observed DE today originates from the cosmological quantum vacuum of light particles, which provides a continuous energy distribution able to reproduce the data. Bosons give positive contribut...

We provide a quantum unifying picture for black holes of all masses and their main properties covering classical, semiclassical, Planckian and trans-Planckian gravity domains: Space-time, size, mass, vacuum ("zero point") energy, temperature , partition function, density of states and entropy. Novel results of this paper are: Black hole interiors a...
We investigate the classical aspects of quantum theory and under which description quantum theory does appear classical. Although such descriptions or variables are known as “ontological” or “hidden,” they are not hidden at all but are dual classical states (in the sense of the general classical–quantum duality of nature). We analyze and interpret...
We describe the Universe quantum asymptotic gravitational Vaccua: the initial (in) Vaccum "Nothing", the late Vacuum State, ("Everything") today, and connect them through a unitary S-Matrix as a Classical-Quantum Dual Transform across the Planck scale. The minimal or initial time and entropy are in the range 0 < t in ≤ 10^{−61} t_P , and 0 < S_in ≤...

We provide a group theory approach to coherent states describing quantum space-time and its properties. This provides a relativistic framework for the metric of a Riemmanian space with bosonic and fermionic coordinates, its continuum and discrete states, and a kind of “quantum optics” for the space-time. New results of this paper are: (i) The space...
We give here a new vision of Photography as a quantum physical system. The concepts of
classical and geometric optics are limited and outdated to describe the entire photographic system
from current and conceptual physics. Quantum physics and quantum information theory in their
most current versions provide the fundamental bases for describing the...

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,
Research into keV warm dark matter (WDM) is progressing fast. The subject is new and essentially works, naturally reproducing astronomical observations over all scales, from small and intermediate galactic scales to large (cosmological) scales (ΛWDM). Astronomical evidence that Cold Dark Matter (CDM) and its proposed tailored bary...
Ultralight scalars with typical mass of the order m ∼ 10 −22 eV and light scalars forming a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) exhibit a Jeans length in the kpc scale and were therefore proposed as dark matter (DM) candidates. Our treatment here is generic, independent of the particle physics model and applies to all DM BEC, in both : in or out of equi...

The classical-quantum duality at the basis of quantum theory is here extended to the Planck scale domain. The classical/semiclassical gravity (G) domain is dual (in the precise sense of the classical-quantum duality) to the quantum (Q) elementary particle domain: O_Q = o_P^2 (O_G )^{-1}, oP being the Planck scale. This duality is universal. From th...
