Abstract
We calculate the first quantum gravitational correction term to the trace anomaly in De Sitter space from the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. This is obtained through an expansion of the full wave functional for gravity and a conformally coupled scalar field in powers of the Planck mass. We also discuss a quantum gravity induced violation of unitarity and comment on its possible relevance for inflation.
