What is antiquarks?
The antiparticle of a quark is called as an anti quark. Which has the same mass but other properties are opposite. Example - Their charge. From the family(group) of quark Up has +2/3 whereas anti-up has -2/3. Quark is a matter ( particle ) whereas an anti quark ( antiparticle ) is antimatter
How does the Higgs field affect quantum entanglement?
The Higgs Field has nothing to do with quantum entanglement. Quantum Entanglement is the phenomena that, when a particle decays into two particles, they travel in separate directions. When one particle is observed to be spinning in one direction, then we will immediately know that the other particle is spinning in the opposite direction. However, neither particle is spinning until it is observed, yet the other particle suddenly "decides" which way it is spinning as soon as the first is observed. Particles interacting with the Higgs Field (all of the particles that exist interact with the Higgs Field) simply take on mass, which depends on the strength of the interaction with the field. If a particle decays, then it will decay into a particle-antiparticle pair. Since all particles and their antiparticle counterparts have the same mass, there is no entanglement.
What is an antiproton?
An anti-proton is a particle, the opposite of a proton. In theory every particle has an anti-particle and if a particle collides with it's anti-particle they wll both be destroyed and a large amount of energy will be released. Anti-protons were first made in a laboratory in 1955, and are routinely made in high energy particle accelerators today.
Can subatomic particles be broken down into energy?
They can't be 'broken down' into energy. However, subatomic particles (indeed, all matter) can be annihilated and converted into energy.Each particle of matter has an antiparticle (antimatter). When a particle collides with its exact antiparticle twin, they annihilate each other. They 'disappear' and become photons (quanta containing energy).This means that matter and energy are exchangeable. The ratio is from Einstein's formula:E = mc2 , where E = energy, m = mass, c = speed of lightAnnihilation must occur due to the conservation law.
When can the law conservation of energy be broken?
It really can't, for all practical purposes. When virtual particle-antiparticle pairs are created, it is broken for a very, very short time (limited by the Uncertainty Principle), but just as in the case of some other interesting physical effects, there is no way this can be used to run an engine without energy input.
What is antiparticle matter?
An antiparticle is a subatomic particle corresponding to another particle with the same mass, spin and mean lifetime, but with charge, parity, strangeness and other quantum numbers flipped in sign.
What physical part makes an antiparticle anti?
It depends on the exact antiparticle you are talking about. When a particle has an electric charge, its antiparticle would have an equal, but opposite charge. For example, protons have a charge of +1, while antiprotons have a charge of -1. This applies to all electrically charged particles, including quarks (particles that make up hadrons) When a particle is a hadron (composite particle), then usually the quarks inside them are antiquarks. For example, the quark structure of a neutron is udd (up up down) while the quark structure of an antineutron is antiup, antidown, antidown. The charges cancel each other out, and antineutrons are left with no charge, just like neutrons. If the particle had charge, then the combination of charges of its antiparticle's quarks would be equal, but of opposite. In addition, some other properties are also the same, but opposite, Some particles (eg. photons, Z bosons) are their own antiparticles.

Are neutrinos their own antiparticles?
Answer 1There are three different types of neutrinos. Each one is associated with its own antiparticle, but is not an antiparticle itself. Answer 2Particle and antiparticle are distinguished by their charges. The positron, for example, the antiparticle of the negatively charged electron, is positively charged. The neutrino, on the other hand, is electrically neutral-the prerequisite for the ability of being its own antiparticle. However, I assume that the antiparticles of neutrinos are neutrinos with opposite spinning direction.
When some Gnostics speak of the interaction between anti-matter and matter are they actually speaking of the interaction between dark matter and matter?
No. Antimatter and dark matter are two entirely different things. Dark matter is a form of matter (for lack of a better word) that only interacts with ordinary matter via gravity. Antimatter is matter consisting of antiparticles. For every normal particle type there is an antiparticle of the same mass but opposite charge. If a particle meets its antiparticle the two annihilate each other and turn into energy.

What is an anti-photon and do they even exist?
Quantum field theory requires for consistency reasons that every charged particle has its antiparticle. If the particle is uncharged then quantum field theory does not put any other impulsion and so we do not need antiparticles for photons. The reason behind it is that they are not charged. But you can still consider the same operation of keeping mass and spin and exchanging charges and since the photon remains unaffected by this, you can decide to identify it with an antiphoton. So it depends on you whether or not you want to consider photons to have antiphotons or not. Answered by Tanishq Choudhary
Positrons have the same charge as what other particles?
A positron, which has a positive charge, has the same charge as a proton. The positron is antimatter, and is the antiparticle of the electron, hence its other name, the anti-electron. The electron has a charge of negative one, so its anti-particle, the positron, has a charge of plus one, the same as the proton. Links are provided below to related questions.

What is the mass number of a positron?
The mass of a positron is approximately 9.1093826(16) × 10−31 kg. The positron and the electron are anti-particles of each other, and you can find out more about the positron at the Wikipedia article on that subject. A link to their post can be found below. There is also a link to a related question on the nature of the positron. That's down there, too.
