Quantum mechanics, the physical theory describing the behavior of atomic and subatomic particles, can be successfully formulated using solely real numbers. This mathematically rigorous alternative challenges the traditional reliance on complex numbers, which incorporate both real and imaginary components, to describe quantum states.
