Abstract

f(Q)f(Q) symmetric-teleparallel gravity is considered in view of Quantum Cosmology. Specifically, we derive cosmological equations for f(Q)f(Q) models and then investigate the related energy conditions. In the minisuperspace formalism, the point-like f(Q)f(Q) Hamiltonian is taken into account. In this framework, we obtain and solve the Wheeler-De Witt equation, thus finding the Wave Function of the Universe in different cases. We show that the Hartle Criterion can be applied and classical observable universes occur.
