Abstract

Using canonical quantization of a flat FRW cosmological model containing a real scalar field ϕ endowed with a scalar potential V(ϕ), we are able to obtain exact and semi-classical solutions of the so-called Wheeler–DeWitt equation for a particular family of scalar potentials. Some features of the solutions and their classical limits are discussed.
