Minisuperspace quantum cosmology in $f(Q)$ gravity

Abstract

$f(Q)$ symmetric-teleparallel gravity is considered in view of Quantum Cosmology. Specifically, we derive cosmological equations for $f(Q)$ models and then investigate the related energy conditions. In the minisuperspace formalism, the point-like $f(Q)$ Hamiltonian is taken into account. In this framework, we obtain and solve the Wheeler-De Witt equation, thus finding the Wave Function of the Universe in different cases. We show that the Hartle Criterion can be applied and classical observable universes occur.
