- Quantum - Wikipedia
In physics, a quantum (pl : quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity (physical property) involved in an interaction The fundamental notion that a property can be "quantized" is referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization " [1]
- Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia
Quantum mechanics can describe many systems that classical physics cannot Classical physics can describe many aspects of nature at an ordinary (macroscopic and (optical) microscopic) scale, but is not sufficient for describing them at very small submicroscopic (atomic and subatomic) scales

Quantum, in physics, discrete natural unit, or packet, of energy, charge, angular momentum, or other physical property Light, for example, appearing in some respects as a continuous electromagnetic wave, on the submicroscopic level is emitted and absorbed in discrete amounts, or quanta

Quantum mechanics is the field of physics that explains how extremely small objects simultaneously have the characteristics of both particles (tiny pieces of matter) and waves (a disturbance or variation that transfers energy) Physicists call this the “wave-particle duality ”

Quantum physics doesn’t just challenge what we know—it challenges how we know If reality changes when we observe it, then what is the role of the observer?
- What Is Quantum Physics? - Caltech Science Exchange
Quantum physics is the study of matter and energy at the most fundamental level It aims to uncover the properties and behaviors of the very building blocks of nature
- Demystifying Quantum: It’s Here, There and Everywhere
Quantum, often called quantum mechanics, deals with the granular and fuzzy nature of the universe and the physical behavior of its smallest particles The idea of physical granularity is like your TV image
- Quantum mechanics | Definition, Development, Equations | Britannica
Quantum mechanics, science dealing with the behavior of matter and light on the atomic and subatomic scale It attempts to describe and account for the properties of molecules and atoms and their constituents—electrons, protons, neutrons, and other more esoteric particles such as quarks and gluons
