Mathematically, it's based upon analysis (calculus, differential equations, etc.) as are most fields of physics, but what really sets quantum apart from other physics fields is it's fundamental mathematical dependence on probability, linear algebra, and group theory.

It's conceptually based on uncertainty, probability, and discreteness (as opposed to absolute and continuous).

What is quantum mechanics based on?

Quantum Mechanics is a discipline of higher level mathematics and physics. The most basic description of Quantum Physics is the study of the building blocks of the universe, and the forces that govern those particles.


What is the quantum physics of a moose?

There is no quantum physics of a moose. Quantum physics is a type of theoretical physics, and its laws do not apply to physical objects


What is the difference between quantum physics and physics?

Nothing. Quantum is a branch of physics


What expertise does Dr. Professor Smith bring to the field of quantum physics?

Dr. Professor Smith is an expert in quantum physics, specializing in quantum mechanics, quantum computing, and quantum field theory. His research focuses on understanding the behavior of particles at the quantum level and developing new technologies based on quantum principles.


Why you need quantum or modern physics while classical physics existed already?

Classical physics was based upon how the things we deal with every day move when we deal with them in everyday situations. As we started to discover new things (protons, electrons, redshift, etc) classical physics failed to completely explain what we observed. Modern physics explained time-and-space related quandries while quantum physics explained wave-and-particle dualities.


What is the orbital theory based upon?

It was first based on spectroscopic observations, but now is based on quantum mechanics.


What is the difference between quantum mechanics and quantum physics?

Quantum Mechanics is a branch of physics describing the behavior of energy and matter at the atomic and subatomic scales. It explains it itself and Quantum Physics is the same deal. They're just two different ways in saying it.


Examples of modern physics?

What are the diff branches physics?

branches of physics are - Neclear physics Electromagnetism Quantum mechanics Interdisciplinary fields Quantum field theory


Is quantum mechanics same as quantum physics?

It most certainly is! It has to do with things that are very small. Atomic [or Nuclear] Physics is essentially the study of the quantum world.


What is the relationship with quantum physics and creme brulee?

Nothing. Quantum physics does not have any rules that affect physical objects


Is quantum physics a joke?

No. Quantum Physics allows us to understand our universe.The nature of electromagnetic waves and particles.
