How to Use quantum chromodynamics in a Sentence
quantum chromodynamics
noun-
But their theory of the strong force, quantum chromodynamics, didn’t behave in the usual way, and neither did the particles.

-
So, the work is an important landmark in terms of finding ways to up the precision of the results, and the outcome suggests that quantum chromodynamics is probably fine.

-
Then came the connection to the best current description of the strong nuclear force with the development of quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

-
The results began to make more sense as physicists worked out the true theory that the quark model only approximates: quantum chromodynamics, or QCD.

One of those alternatives is the axion, a particle first proposed as a way of solving problems in an unrelated area of physics called quantum chromodynamics.
—John Timmer, Ars Technica, 16 Nov. 2019

In 2004 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics, with two other scientists, for his contribution to quantum chromodynamics—a theory about the strong interaction between certain subatomic particles.
—Christopher Levenick, WSJ, 20 Jan. 2021
