Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory in physics that provides a description of the physical properties of nature at the scale of atoms and subatomic particles.[1] It is the foundation of all quantum physics, including quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.
