We calculate the time evolution of the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor for a minimally coupled massless scalar field in cosmological spacetimes, with an application to dark energy in mind. We first study the evolution from inflation until the present, fixing the Bunch-Davies initial condition. The energy density of a quantum field evolves asin the matter-dominated (MD) period, whereandare the Hubble parameters during inflation and at each moment. Its equation of state,, changes from a negative value toin the radiation-dominated (RD) period, and fromtoin the MD period. We then consider possible effects of a Planckian universe, which may have existed before inflation, by assuming there was another inflation with the Hubble parameter. In this case, modes with wavelengths longer than the current horizon radius are mainly amplified, and the energy density of a quantum field grows with time asin the MD period, whereandare the scale factors at each time and at present. Hence, ifis of the order of the Planck scale,becomes comparable to the critical densityat the present time. The contribution tofrom the long wavelength fluctuations generated before the ordinary inflation hasin the free field approximation. We mention a possibility that interactions further amplify the energy density and change the equation of state.
