In this paper we study quantum dynamics of the bouncing cosmological model. We focus on the model of the flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe with a free scalar field. The bouncing behavior, which replaces the classical singularity, appears due to the modification of general relativity using the methods of loop quantum cosmology. We show that there exists a unitary transformation that enables one to describe the system as a free particle with a Hamiltonian equal to the canonical momentum. We examine properties of the various quantum states of the universe: the boxcar state, the standard coherent state, and the soliton-like state, as well as Schrödinger’s cat states constructed from these states. Characteristics of the states—such as quantum moments and Wigner functions—are investigated. We show that each of these states have, for some range of parameters, a proper semiclassical limit fulfilling the correspondence principle. The decoherence of the superposition of two universes is described and possible interpretations in terms of triad orientation and the Belinsky-Khalatnikov-Lifshitz conjecture are given. We also examine negative-part sectors of the Wigner functions for the considered states. Their respective areas and localizations in the phase space feature an adequate estimate of nonclassicality. In particular, we show that regions where the Wigner function for the Glauber coherent cat state assumes its negative values have area equal to one fourth of the Planck constant. Based on the examined examples, we also conjecture that regions with negative values for the Wigner function are never smaller than one fourth of the Planck constant for states satisfying the uncertainty principle.
