English meaning: Quantum mechanics
German Definition

English Definition
The branch of physics describing the behavior of matter and energy at the subatomic level. Germany was the birthplace of quantum theory — Max Planck's 1900 quantum hypothesis, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, Born's probability interpretation, and Schrödinger's wave equation were all developed by German-speaking physicists. Quantum mechanics underpins modern electronics, lasers, and computing.
Example
“Die Quantenmechanik wurde maßgeblich von deutschen Physikern wie Planck und Heisenberg entwickelt.”
In English: “Quantum mechanics was significantly developed by German physicists like Planck and Heisenberg.”
