Editing Tensor (section)

=== Other examples from physics ===
Common applications include:
* [[Electromagnetic tensor]] (or Faraday tensor) in [[electromagnetism]]
* [[Finite deformation tensors]] for describing deformations and [[strain tensor]] for [[Strain (materials science)|strain]] in [[continuum mechanics]]
* [[Permittivity]] and [[electric susceptibility]] are tensors in [[anisotropic]] media
* [[Four-tensors]] in [[general relativity]] (e.g. [[stress–energy tensor]]), used to represent [[momentum]] [[flux]]es
* Spherical tensor operators are the eigenfunctions of the quantum [[angular momentum operator]] in [[spherical coordinates]]
* Diffusion tensors, the basis of [[diffusion tensor imaging]], represent rates of diffusion in biological environments
* [[Quantum mechanics]] and [[quantum computing]] utilize tensor products for combination of quantum states
