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.

What is the main difference between particle physics and quantum physics?
There is none. To study particle physics you use the whole machinery of quantum physics, but written down in a different way. That means particle physicists use the formalism of quantum field theory, which is a more powerful way of doing quantum mechanics, it's just more useful in this context.
What is the difference between quantum physics and metaphysics?
Metaphysics is more of a philosophical theory rather than a mathematical one like quantum physics.
What are th 6 divisions of physics?
There are six divisions of physics. There are classical mechanics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum mechanics, and interdisciplinary fields.
What is quantum physics's impact on the environment?
Quantum mechanics has no effect on the environment it just describes how the environment behaves
What branch of physics that study about light?
Variously: physics, optics, quantum mechanics, etc.
What is the difference between quantum physics and physics?
Nothing. Quantum is a branch of physics
Who created Quantum Mechanics and is it true that it is replacing the old physics?
Quantum Mechanics "replaced" Classical Mechanics in particle physics in mid-1930s.

What is quantam mechanics?
somthing to do with quantum physics
Is quantum mechanics a set of fields or is it just a lone branch of mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is a separate branch of physics. It is a general term given to all quantum physics. There are many subbranches, for example Quantum chronodynamics which describes the strong nuclear interaction.
2 major fields of physics?
newton physics Quantum mechanics
What field of physics is Albert Einstein?
Theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics.
What are the diff branches physics?
branches of physics are - Neclear physics Electromagnetism Quantum mechanics Interdisciplinary fields Quantum field theory
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 are the names of physics?
Physics Branches: Classical Mechanics Mathematical Physics Classical Electrodynamics Quantum Mechanics Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Condensed Matter Physics Nuclear Physics Quantum Field theory Non-Linear Dynamics Astronomy and Astrophysics General Theory of Relativity and Cosmology
What are the names of physics divisions?
Physics Branches: Classical Mechanics Mathematical Physics Classical Electrodynamics Quantum Mechanics Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Condensed Matter Physics Nuclear Physics Quantum Field theory Non-Linear Dynamics Astronomy and Astrophysics General Theory of Relativity and Cosmology
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.
