- | <tabbox Why is it interesting?> | ||
- | |||
- | Quantum physics is a better approximation to reality than 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 [[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. | ||
