Abstract

Dark energy is investigated from the perspective of quantum cosmology. It is found that, together with an appropriate normal ordering factor $q$, only when there is dark energy then can the cosmological wave function be normalized. This interesting observation may require further attention.

Highlights

  • On the other hand, as an application of quantum physics to the dynamical systems describing closed universes, quantum cosmology is tightly related to quantum gravity

  • Having noticed the common connection between dark energy, quantum cosmology, and quantum gravity, a natural and interesting question to ask is whether there is a relation between dark energy and quantum cosmology

  • After some tedious but straightforward calculations, one can find that the second term of the wave function (4) will always render the inner product P = 0 aq | |2da divergent unless the normal ordering ambiguity factor q is in the domain of (−1, 3)

As an application of quantum physics to the dynamical systems describing closed universes, quantum cosmology is tightly related to quantum gravity.
