Quantum Cosmology from canonical Quantum Gravity

dr Francesco Cianfrani

I will review the most successful canonical approaches towards Quantum Gravity, namely Wheeler-DeWitt quantization and Loop Quantum Gravity, in connection with the definition of a quantum theory for the Universe. I will outline how recent developments allow us to construct a proper phenomenology, which may be tested in observational cosmology.
