QM has various meanings in the Physics category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of QM in Physics.
The physical science used to calculate and analyze the energies and spatial distributions of small particles confined to very small regions of space.
PhysicsIn particle physics, the quark model is a classification scheme for hadrons in terms of their valence quarks the quarks and antiquarks which give rise to the quantum numbers of the hadrons. The quark model underlies "flavor SU(3)", or the Eightfold Way, the successful classification scheme organizing the large number of lighter hadrons that were being discovered starting in the 1950s and continuing through the 1960s.
