SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) Equation and its implications for second quantization in Quantum Field Theory (QFT). It identifies key elements that may undergo second quantization, including the geometry of spacetime, matter energy, and gravity. The conversation emphasizes the need for a comprehensive understanding of the combinations of these elements in the context of the WDW Equation. A recommended resource for further exploration is the paper titled "Solution Of Wheeler-De Witt Equation, Potential Well And Tunnel Effect," available on arXiv.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Quantum Field Theory (QFT)
  • Familiarity with the Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) Equation

In QFT the background field is 2nd Quantised as opposed to remaining classical

What exactly gets 2nd Quantised in the WDW Equation

Geometry of SpaceTime
Or
Matter Energy
Or
Gravity
Or
Some combination of the above, if so what is the combination

here is an article covering WDW, which is probably what your looking for based on your your related posts.

Solution Of Wheeler-De Witt Equation, Potential Well And Tunnel Effect.

http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/0705/0705.2083.pdf

you can easily find other papers showing a large variety of solutions by simply googling WDW equation. I would stick to the arxiv papers though lol. Thought you'd be interested in the paper.
