We discuss the classical and quantum cosmology of a universe filled with a tachyon condensate and other Born-Infeld type fields. We analyse, in particular, the cases with a constant potential and with an inverse square potential. We apply the Wheeler-DeWitt equation of canonical quantum gravity to these models and show how it can be appropriately reformulated as a difference equation.
