- Quantum cosmology
In
theoretical physics ,quantum cosmology is a field attempting to study the effect ofquantum mechanics on the creation of the universe, or its early evolution, especially just after theBig Bang . Despite many attempts, such as theWheeler-deWitt equation , the field remains a rather speculative branch ofquantum gravity .An important problem in this field is the origin of
information in the universe.See also
