Quantum Electrodynamics

Feynman developed quantum electrodynamics, precisely describing how light and matter interact at the tiniest scales. His famous diagrams simplified complex particle physics calculations, making them accessible to scientists worldwide. This work enabled precise predictions verified by experiments and became essential for particle physics, leading to discoveries like the Higgs boson and advancing technologies like lasers and semiconductors.
