Each force has its corresponding quantum field from "summary" of The Quantum Theory of Fields by Steven Weinberg,Weinberg S

In the quantum theory of fields, each of the fundamental forces of nature is associated with a corresponding quantum field. The electromagnetic force, for example, is described by the electromagnetic field, while the weak nuclear force is associated with the weak nuclear field. These fields interact with particles in a way that is governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. Quantum fields are not static entities, but rather dynamic and ever-changing. They can fluctuate and vibrate, giving rise to particles that can appear and disappear in a seemingly random fashion. This dynamic nature of quantum fields is a fundamental aspect of the quantum world, where particles are viewed not as discrete objects but as excitations of underlying fields. The interactions between particles mediated by these quantum fields are responsible for the forces that govern the behavior of matter at the most fundamental level. For example, the electromagnetic f...
