'''Quantum field theory''' (QFT) is a mathematical theory in physics which modernizes [[quantum mechanics]] from its early-20th-century formulation. In the areas of its domain (electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and strong nuclear forces), it is arguably the most precisely verified theory in all of physics. It is so close to being the "theory of everything" that it is part of the advanced physics curriculum everywhere. But since it does not integrate gravity into its formulation, it isn't actually the ultimate "theory of everything".

QFT describes the interactions between subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons, quarks and photons.
