Cosmological observations allow the possibility that dark energy is caused by phantom fields. These fields typically lead to the occurrence of singularities in the late Universe. We review here the status of phantom singularities and their possible avoidance in a quantum theory of gravity. We first introduce phantom energy and discuss its behavior in cosmology. We then list the various types of singularities that can occur from its presence. We also discuss the possibility that phantom behavior is mimicked by an alternative theory of gravity. We finally address the quantum cosmology of these models and discuss in which sense the phantom singularities can be avoided.

Cosmographic analysis of sign-switching dark energy
New sign-switching dark energy models with ladder, smooth-step and error-function profiles are introduced and compared, with continuous transitions shown to convert the Lambda_sCDM sudden singularity into a milder w-s...
