This glossary of physics is a list of definitions of terms and concepts relevant to physics, its sub-disciplines, and related fields, including mechanics, materials science, nuclear physics, particle physics, and thermodynamics.
This is a list of common physical constants and variables, and their notations. Note that bold text indicates that the quantity is a vector. Latin characters
physics education, set of methods to teach physics; physical oceanography, is the study of physical conditions and physical processes within the ocean, especially the motions and physical properties of ocean waters; psychophysics, the science of physical relations in psychology; quantum computing, the study of quantum-mechanical computation systems
A state is a complete description of the observable properties of a physical system. Sometimes the word is used as a synonym of "wave function" or "pure state". State vector synonymous to "wave function". Statistical ensemble A large number of copies of a system. System A sufficiently isolated part in the universe for investigation.

The field equations of condensed matter physics are remarkably similar to those of high energy particle physics. As a result, much of the theory of particle physics applies to condensed matter physics as well; in particular, there are a selection of field excitations, called quasi-particles, that can be created and explored. These include:
The constants listed here are known values of physical constants expressed in SI units; that is, physical quantities that are generally believed to be universal in nature and thus are independent of the unit system in which they are measured. Many of these are redundant, in the sense that they obey a known relationship with other physical ...
In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.
