Abstract
The existence of quantum wormhole states is studied in a minisuperspace model with local supersymmetry, where supergravity is coupled to a massless multiplet consisting of a spin-1/2 and complex scalar field. The geometry is taken to be that of a k=+1 Friedmann universe, the other fields being subject to a suitable homogeneous ansatz. An integral expression is found for the wormhole ground state, and the other quantum wormhole states can be found from it by simple differential operations. The effective mass of the scalar-spin-1/2 multiplet remains zero when wormhole effects are included.
