Third quantization leads to a Hilbert space containing a third-quantized vacuum in which no universes are present as well as multiuniverse states. We consider the possibility of universe creation for the special case where the universe emerges in a no-particle state. The probability of such a creation is computed from both the path-integral and operator formalisms.
