Quantum Cosmology The physical laws that govern the universe prescribe how an initial state evolves with time. In classical physics, if the initial state of a system is specified exactly then the subsequent motion will be completely predictable. In quantum physics, specifying...Lectures at the First Mexican School on Gravitation and Mathematical Physics

Wave Function of the Universe(s) Hawking is one of the founders of a new scientific discipline called quantum cosmology. At first, this seems like a contradiction in terms. The word quantum applies to the infinitesimally small world of quarks and neutrinos, while cosmology signifies the...This is an introductory set of lecture notes on quantum cosmology, given to an audience with interests ranging from astronomy to particle physics.
