Quantum Physics and Quantum Mechanics

This might be a silly question, but idk... what is the difference between quantum physics and quantum mechanics? Are they the same, or if not, how?

As far as I know there isn't a strict difference between the two, but physics might be more general looking at stuff on a quantum scale whereas mechanics might be more about the applied concepts and maths behind it
