Quantum Physics And Quantum Information

This group collects the Physics subcategory's members whose defining work is the general framework of quantum mechanics itself, its founders, its later extensions into quantum field theory, and its modern application to quantum computing, quantum entanglement and quantum information. It spans the early twentieth century physicists who built quantum theory from its foundations alongside the contemporary physicists extending it into information science, kept apart from this subcategory's other groups, whose members apply quantum ideas to one specific material, particle or system rather than developing the general theory itself.

Quote, Quantum mechanics, lead section, origin sentence
Quantum mechanics arose gradually from theories to explain observations that could not be reconciled with classical physics, such as Max Planck's solution in 1900 to the black-body radiation problem, and the correspondence between energy and frequency in Albert Einstein's 1905 paper, which explained the photoelectric effect.
