What is Quantum Electrodynamics?

Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is the quantum field theory that describes how light and matter interact. It combines the principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity to explain the behavior of electromagnetic forces at the quantum level. QED provides a framework for understanding the interactions between charged particles, such as electrons and positrons, and the electromagnetic field, which is mediated by the exchange of photons.

One of the most successful theories in physics, QED accurately predicts phenomena such as the scattering of light by charged particles, the creation and annihilation of particle-antiparticle pairs, and the shifts in energy levels in atoms. The theory was developed by Richard Feynman, Julian Schwinger, and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work. QED plays a fundamental role in modern physics, contributing to our understanding of the quantum world and laying the groundwork for further advancements in quantum field theory.
