How Quantitative easing differs from open market operations?

Answer:
The former is a policy, while the latter is the implementation of that policy. QE is usually opposed to the traditional monetary policy whereby open market operations are usually carried on government short term securities. In the case of QE, liquidity is provided by buying government and corporate bonds instead.
