- The labels 'quantum theory' and 'quantum mechanics' are often used interchangeably or refer to the same fundamental scientific paradigm. Both entities are typed as 'scientific_theory' in 'physics' and their descriptions are highly congruent, referring to the nature and behavior of matter and energy at atomic and subatomic levels. 'Quantum mechanics' is a core formulation of 'quantum theory'.
