Hello all,

I'm working on some text that discusses Relativity and Quantum
Mechanics.

I'm wondering, what is the appropriate (expected?) capitalization of
these names in professional papers:

theory of relativity
relativity
special relativity
general relativity
quantum mechanics
quantum electrodynamics

Also, if I should be refering to these concepts as something other
than the names listed above, please let me know.
