Quantum algebra

Quantum algebra is a branch of mathematics and theoretical physics that deals with algebraic structures that arise in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It often involves the study of non-commutative algebras, where the multiplication of elements does not necessarily follow the commutative property (i.e., \(ab\) may not equal \(ba\)). This non-commutativity reflects the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, particularly the behavior of observables and the uncertainty principle.
