quantum field theory
Quantum field theory is a theoretical framework in physics that combines quantum mechanics with special relativity. It describes the fundamental particles and their interactions as vibrations or excitations of underlying fields in space and time. It provides a mathematical framework for understanding and predicting the behavior of particles and their interactions at the subatomic level.
