Abstract:Understanding the evolution of the universe through the quantum cosmology approach is still not fully realized yet. Introducing the Brown-Kuchař dust field as the time variable, we studied the evolution of the quantum universe nonperturbatively by the closed real time path integral. We evaluated the influence functional of the massless scalar field coupled with the flat FRW universe. By setting the initial state of the spacetime as a Gaussian wave packet, we studied the evolution of the quantum universe. In th… Show more
