History of Quantum Physics

It can be deduced that the concept of quantum physics cannot be pinned to a single physicist; it had been a work in progress, and several new discoveries are being made today in this field of science. The entire idea of quantum physics started from quantum mechanics. The various physicists mentioned earlier contributed exceedingly to several theories derived in quantum mechanics, but the term quantum physics came much later. Studies showed that the theories did not follow strictly logical ways in their developments. They were rather created from series of guesses that were inspired by the exceeding physical insight of the individuals involved. They could formulate the theories relying on their in-depth command of mathematical methods. These were combined to form theoretical edifice with an impressive predictive power. Thanks to their incomparable efforts in the field, quantum mechanics, and later quantum physics, has been labeled as the most successful theoretical aspect of physics ever conceived by human minds.
