- 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
- 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
- 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 While many quantum experiments examine very small objects, such as electrons and photons, quantum phenomena are all around us, acting on every scale
- DOE Explains. . . Quantum Mechanics - Department of Energy
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 ”
