====== Quantum Theories ======
 
<tabbox Why is it interesting?>

Quantum theories are a better approximation to reality than [[theories:classical_theories|classical physics]].

The most important quantum theories are [[theories:quantum_theory:quantum_mechanics|quantum mechanics]] and [[theories:quantum_theory:quantum_field_theory|quantum field theory]].

In this section things should be explained by analogy and with pictures and, if necessary, some formulas.

--> What is quantization?#

In [[http://label2.ist.utl.pt/vilela/Papers/DeforJPA94.pdf|Deformations, stable theories and fundamental constants]] by R Vilela Mendes the author discusses how the algebra of quantum mechanics can be computed from the algebra of classical mechanics by deforming it.
