What is the difference between quantum physics and quantum mechanics?
Quantum physics is a broad field of study that encompasses the fundamental principles and phenomena of the quantum world, including the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels. Quantum mechanics, on the other hand, is a specific branch of physics that focuses on the mathematical framework and formalism used to describe the behavior of particles at the quantum level. In other words, quantum physics is the broader study of the quantum world, while quantum mechanics is the specific set of principles and mathematical tools used to understand and describe it.

What is the difference between quantum mechanics and quantum physics?
Quantum mechanics and quantum physics are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two terms. Quantum mechanics is a specific branch of physics that deals with the mathematical description of the behavior of particles at the atomic and subatomic levels. On the other hand, quantum physics is a broader term that encompasses the study of the behavior of matter and energy at the quantum level, including quantum mechanics as well as other related fields such as quantum field theory and quantum electrodynamics. In essence, quantum mechanics is a subset of quantum physics, focusing specifically on the mathematical framework for understanding the behavior of particles at the quantum level.

The Physics of Quantum Information : Quantum Cryptography, Quantum Teleportation, Quantum Computation
Information is stored, transmitted and processed by physical means.Thus, the concept of information and computation can be formulated in the con text of a physical theory and the study of information requires ultimately experimentation.This sentence, innocuous at first glance, leads to non-trivial consequences.Following Moore's law, about every 18 months microprocessors double their speed and, it seems, the only way to make them significantly faster is to make them smaller.In the not too distant future they will reach the point where the logic gates are so small that they consist of only a few atoms each.Then quantum-mechanical effects will become important.Thus, if computers are to continue to become faster (and therefore smaller), new, quantum technology must replace or supplement what we have now.But it turns out that such technology can offer much more than smaller and faster microprocessors.Several recent theoretical results have shown that quantum effects may be harnessed to provide qualitatively new modes of communication and computation, in some cases much more powerful than their classical counterparts.This new quantum technology is being born in many laboratories.The last two decades have witnessed experiments in which single quantum particles of different kinds were controlled and manipulated with an unprecedented preci sion.Many "gedanken" experiments, so famous in the early days of quantum mechanics, have been carried out.

Modern Quantum Theory : From Quantum Mechanics to Entanglement and Quantum Information
In the last few decades quantum theory has experienced an extensive revival owing to the rapid development of quantum information and quantum technologies.Based on a series of courses taught by the authors, the book takes the reader on a journey from the beginnings of quantum theory in the early twentieth century to the realm of quantum-information processing in the twenty-first.The central aim of this textbook, therefore, is to offer a detailed introduction to quantum theory that covers both physical and information-theoretic aspects, with a particular focus on the concept of entanglement and its characteristics, variants, and applications.Suitable for undergraduate students in physics and related subjects who encounter quantum mechanics for the first time, this book also serves as a resource for graduate students who want to engage with more advanced topics, offering a collection of derivations, proofs, technical methods, and references for graduate students and more experienced readers engaged with teaching and active research. The book is divided into three parts: Part I - Quantum Mechanics, Part II - Entanglement and Non-Locality, and Part III - Advanced Topics in Modern Quantum Physics.Part I provides a modern view on quantum mechanics, a central topic of theoretical physics.Part II is dedicated to the foundations of quantum mechanics and entanglement: starting with density operators, hidden-variable theories, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox, and Bell Inequalities, but also touching upon philosophical questions, followed by a deeper study of entanglement-based quantum communication protocols like teleportation, before giving a detailed exposition of entanglement theory, including tools for the detection and quantification of entanglement.Part III is intended as a collection of standalone chapters to supplement the contents of Parts I and II, covering more advanced topics such as classical and quantum entropies, quantum operations and measurements, decoherence, quantum metrology and quantum optics, and entanglement in particle physics.

What is quantum entanglement?
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them. This means that measuring the state of one particle instantly determines the state of the other, even if they are light-years apart. This mysterious connection defies classical physics and has been described by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance." Quantum entanglement is a key principle in quantum mechanics and has potential applications in quantum computing and cryptography.

What is quantum philosophy?
Quantum philosophy is a branch of philosophy that explores the implications of quantum theory for our understanding of reality, knowledge, and consciousness. It examines how the principles of quantum mechanics challenge traditional philosophical concepts such as causality, determinism, and objectivity. Quantum philosophy also delves into the nature of observation and measurement, as well as the relationship between the observer and the observed. Overall, quantum philosophy seeks to bridge the gap between the physical world described by quantum mechanics and our philosophical understanding of reality.

What are quantum energies?
Quantum energies refer to the energy levels associated with the behavior of particles at the quantum level. In quantum mechanics, particles such as electrons can exist in discrete energy states, and the energy of these states is quantized, meaning it can only take on certain specific values. These energy levels play a crucial role in determining the behavior and properties of particles at the quantum scale, and are fundamental to understanding the behavior of atoms and molecules. Quantum energies are also important in fields such as quantum computing and quantum cryptography.
-
What are quantum fields?
Quantum fields are fundamental entities in quantum field theory that describe the behavior of particles and forces in the universe. They are fields that permeate all of space and time, and their interactions give rise to the fundamental forces of nature, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Quantum fields are characterized by their quantum nature, meaning that they can fluctuate and create and destroy particles in accordance with the principles of quantum mechanics. These fields are essential for understanding the behavior of particles at the smallest scales and are a key component of our current understanding of the fundamental forces and particles in the universe.
