Quantum Field Theory joins ideas from quantum theory and special relativity. There are multiple field theories that apply to different forces:
Theory | Force |
---|---|
QED: Quantum Electrodynamics | Electromagnetic force |
QCD: Quantum Chromodynamics | Strong nuclear force |
Electroweak Theory | Weak nuclear force |
There is yet to be found a quantum theory of gravity. A good overview over attempts made to unify physical theories is provided by the cGh cube, seen in the diagram below:
