We investigate the quantum cosmologies of the Bianchi IX and VIII models whena cosmological constant, aligned electromagnetic field and free scalar fieldare present. The conserved quantity $p_{\phi}$ associated with our free scalarfield results in $\phi$ classically being a quantity which monotonicallyincreases with respect to time, thus allowing it to fulfill the role of an'emergent' internal clock for our constrained quantum systems. We embark onthis investigation to better understand how matter sources can affect generalanisotropic quantum cosmologies. To aid us we use the Euclidean-signature semiclassical method to obtain our wave functions and analyze them. In addition westudy briefly the quantum Taub models when an $e^{ \phi}$ potential and alignedelectromagnetic field are present. One of the interesting things we found wasthat our aligned electromagnetic field, depending on how strong it is, cancreate or destroy geometric states in our 'excited' state wave functions thatquantum Bianchi IX universes can tunnel in and out of. This creation of a stateis somewhat similar to how non-commutativity in the minisuperspace variablescan cause new quantum states to emerge in the quantum Kantowski-Sachs andBianchi I models. Our results further show the utility of theEuclidean-signature semi classical method towards tackling Lorentzian signatureproblems without having to invoke a Wick rotation. This feature of not needingto apply a Wick rotation makes this method potentially very useful for tacklinga variety of problems in bosonic relativistic field theory and quantum gravity.
