Towards Observational Signatures of Quantum Cosmology

Abstract: After an overview of quantum cosmology, I will discuss how quantum theory has been employed to address its open questions. Then, I will highlight how new developments in quantum theory yield new solutions for challenges in cosmology. In particular, I will discuss the role of strongly correlated quantum states as viable dark matter candidates and the implications of quantum gravity frameworks on the resolution of the Big Bang singularity and the current accelerated cosmological expansion.
