The Quintom scenario was proposed in 2004 by Xin-Min Zhang et al., and is a hypothetical model of dark energy. The name of 'quintom' was derived from 'quintessence' from quintessence field and 'phantom' from phantom dark energy. The Quintom scenario was to fit the evolution of dark energy with the cosmological data.
