Difference between Field (physics) and Quantum mechanics

Field (physics) vs. Quantum mechanics

In physics, a field is a physical quantity, represented by a number or tensor, that has a value for each point in space and time. Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, quantum theory, the wave mechanical model, or matrix mechanics), including quantum field theory, is a fundamental theory in physics which describes nature at the smallest scales of energy levels of atoms and subatomic particles.
