    The candidate 'quantum theory' has a nearly identical description to the source 'quantum mechanics', both referring to a fundamental scientific theory dealing with the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels. While 'quantum theory' can be a broader term, in many contexts, especially when referring to the foundational theory, it is used interchangeably with 'quantum mechanics'. The shared core definition strongly suggests they represent the same real-world scientific concept.
