Abstract

We quantize a flat cosmological model in the context of f(T)f(T) theory of modified gravity using the Dirac's quantization approach for Hamiltonian constraint systems. In this regard, first we obtain the Wheeler-DeWitt equation as the operator equation of the Hamiltonian constraint and solve it for some typical cosmological models of f(T)=T2Λf(T)=T-2\Lambda, f(T)=β2Tf(T)= \beta\sqrt{-2T} and f(T)=γT2f(T)= \gamma T^2. Then, in the context of classical-quantum correspondence, we interpret the obtained wavefunctions of the universe to describe an accelerating de Sitter universe which is found to be in good agreement with f(T)=T2Λf(T)=T-2\Lambda model. Finally, we study Bohm--de Broglie interpretation of the quantum model for f(T)=T2Λf(T)=T-2\Lambda model.
