  • Lead section (entity-description)
    Quantum chromodynamics is the theory of the strong interaction between quarks and gluons, the fundamental particles that make up composite hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion.
  • Lead section (proposed-year)
    David Gross, David Politzer and Frank Wilczek discovered the property of asymptotic freedom in 1973, a key theoretical foundation of quantum chromodynamics.
