Quantum physics is a general appellation of physical theories that emerged during the twentieth century, which describes the behavior of atoms and particles and makes it possible to elucidate certain properties of electromagnetic radiation. As the theory of relativity, the so-called "quantum" theories mark a break with what is now called classical physics, which brings together the theories and physical principles known in the 19th century - notably Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, and which did not explain certain physical properties. It is worth mentioning that "Quantum physics" covers all the fields of physics where the use of the laws of quantum mechanics is necessary to understand the phenomena involved. Quantum mechanics is the fundamental theory of the particles of matter constituting the objects of the universe and force fields animating these objects.
