Overview

Quantum field theory (QFT) is a fundamental framework in theoretical physics that combines field theory, special relativity, and quantum mechanics to describe the behavior of subatomic particles and quasiparticles. Developed by physicists such as [[richard-feynman|Richard Feynman]] and [[julian-schwarz|Julian Schwarz]], QFT is the foundation of the standard model of particle physics and has been incredibly successful in predicting particle interactions. However, it still faces challenges in incorporating gravity and establishing a rigorous mathematical foundation, with ongoing research by institutions like [[cern|CERN]] and [[stanford-university|Stanford University]].
