- 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 | Definition Facts | Britannica
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
