-Imaginary numbers are essential in modern theories of physics like [[theories:​quantum_mechanics:​canonical_quantum_mechanics|quantum mechanics]] and [[theories:​quantum_field_theory|quantum field theory]]. In these theories, we describe a physical system using complex functions, which means functions that contain combinations of imaginary numbers as arguments.+Imaginary numbers are essential in modern theories of physics like [[theories:​quantum_mechanics:​canonical_quantum_mechanics|quantum mechanics]] and [[theories:​quantum_field_theory:canonical|quantum field theory]].
