• Abstract: The Belinski-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz scenario concerns the existence of generic singularity of general relativity. At the singularity, there is a breakdown of all known laws of physics. Quantization of this scenario leads, however, to regular quantum evolution. The singularity is avoided by a quantum bounce. It is fairly probable that quantum general relativity, to be constructed, would be free from singularities. Thus, it could be used to address issues such as the quantum fates of cosmological and black holes singularities.

• Quantum singularities in a solvable toy model [0.0]
  It is proposed that the role of quantum singularities can be played by the so called Kato's exceptional-point spectral degeneracies. It is demonstrated that the singularities of classical physics (sampled by the Big Bang in cosmology) need not necessarily get smeared out after quantization.

  A Planck scale inflationary era produces the scale invariant spectrum of inhomogeneities with very small tensor-to-scalar ratio of perturbations. Here we evoke the possibility that some of the major puzzles in cosmology would have an explanation rooted in quantum gravity.

  The mass of the universe is a distribution of non-zero values of gravitational constraints. A formulation of the Euclidean quantum theory of gravity is also proposed to determine the initial state. Being unrelated to ordinary matter, the distribution of its own mass affects the geometry of space.

  A quantum game has been developed to distinguish standard quantum theory from its real-number analog. We experimentally implement the quantum game based on entanglement swapping with a state-of-the-art fidelity of 0.952(1). Our results disprove the real-number formulation and establish the indispensable role of complex numbers in the standard quantum theory.
