Quantum physics is a branch of chemical theory in which quantum mechanics and quantum field theory are applied to chemical problems. This branch of chemistry mathematically describes the basic behaviour of matter on a molecular scale; this means it has a significant number of applications, such as the study of the behaviour of atoms and molecules in relation to their optical, electrical, magnetic and mechanical properties.
Furthermore, quantum physics enables us to study in great detail chemical reactivity and to analyse matter, both extended solids and surfaces. Quantum chemistry closely interrelates with other fields such as molecular physics, atomic physics and physical chemistry, and thus it can offer, on a constant basis, new knowledge that can be applied to new fields of different types.
