We study Lorentzian static traversable wormholes coupled to quadratic scalar fields. We also obtain solutions of the scalar fields and matter in the wormhole background and find that the minimal size of the wormhole should be quantized under the appropriate boundary conditions for the positive nonminimal massive scalar field.
