Perturbation theory is a mathematical approach used in quantum mechanics to find an approximate solution to a complex problem by starting from the exact solution of a simpler, related problem. It helps in understanding how small changes or 'perturbations' in a system can affect its energy levels and wave functions, making it crucial for analyzing systems that cannot be solved exactly.
