Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a fundamental theory in particle physics that describes the strong interaction between quarks and gluons, which are the building blocks of protons and neutrons. Key physicists who contributed to the development of QCD include Richard Feynman and David Gross. The theory emerged in the early 1970s and is essential for understanding the behavior of particles at high energies. QCD is studied to gain insights into the fundamental forces of nature and the structure of matter.
