Quintom scenario

The Quintom scenario (derived from the words quintessence and phantom, as in phantom energy) is a hypothetical model of dark energy.

## Equation of State

In this scenario, the equation of state p=wρ of the dark energy, relating its pressure and energy density, can cross the boundary w=−1 associated with the cosmological constant. The boundary separates the phantom-energy-like behavior with w<−1 from the quintessence-like behavior with w>−1. A no-go theorem shows that this behavior requires at least two degrees of freedom for dark energy models involving ideal gases or scalar fields.[1]

The Quintom scenario was applied in 2008 to produce a model of inflationary cosmology with a Big Bounce instead of a Big Bang singularity.[2]
