    Quantum Field Theory

    Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a theoretical framework for understanding the subatomic world. It merges the principles of quantum mechanics with those of special relativity and classical field theory, positing that particles are excitations of underlying quantum fields rather than discrete objects. QFT is the foundation of the Standard Model of particle physics and has been successfully applied to condensed matter physics.
