QCD stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of QCD across different fields and industries.
In theoretical physics, quantum chromodynamics is the theory of strong interactions, a fundamental force describing the interactions between quarks and gluons which make up hadrons such as the proton, neutron and pion. QCD is a type of quantum field theory called a non-abelian gauge theory with symmetry group SU(3). The QCD analog of electric charge is a property called color.
