Quantum field theory marries the ideas of other quantum theories to depict all particles as “excitations” that arise in underlying fields. The British physicist Paul Dirac started the ball ...

The theory also builds upon well-established principles in quantum field theory. It borrows from the Dirac-Kähler formalism, ...
