    The source entity 'quantum theory' and candidate 'quantum mechanics' refer to the same fundamental scientific framework. Both describe the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels. 'Quantum mechanics' is the primary mathematical formulation of 'quantum theory', and the terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same real-world scientific discipline.
