quantum fields
[ˈkwɒntəm fiːldz]
nounpl: quantum fields
campos quânticos
1. In quantum physics, fundamental entities that permeate all of space and time, described by quantum field theory, where particles are excitations or quanta of these fields
Electrons and photons are excitations of their respective quantum fields.
Elétrons e fótons são excitações de seus respectivos campos quânticos.
2. Mathematical frameworks used in particle physics to describe the behavior and interactions of elementary particles and fundamental forces
Quantum fields provide the theoretical foundation for understanding particle physics.
Os campos quânticos fornecem a base teórica para compreender a física de partículas.
3. The basic building blocks of quantum field theory, which unifies quantum mechanics with special relativity
The Standard Model relies heavily on quantum field descriptions of all known particles.
O Modelo Padrão depende fortemente de descrições de campos quânticos de todas as partículas conhecidas.
This is specialized scientific terminology used primarily in academic and research contexts in both English-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries. It is fundamental to theoretical physics curricula at university level. The term carries the same meaning across different regions, though it may be encountered more frequently in physics departments and research institutions. In Brazil, it is commonly taught in graduate-level physics programs at universities like USP, UFRJ, and UNICAMP.
