- 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 allows the calculation of properties and behaviour of physical systems It is typically applied to microscopic systems: molecules, atoms and subatomic particles
- 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

The field of quantum science may seem mysterious or illogical, but it describes everything around us, whether we realize it or not Harnessing the power of quantum physics gives rise to new technologies, both for applications we use today and for those that may be available in the future
- 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
- As quantum mechanics turns 100, a new revolution is under way
The idea that quantum effects are important in living things has been proposed in a few specific areas: Quantum mechanics might play a role in photosynthesis, and birds might use a quantum compass
- Introduction to quantum mechanics - Wikipedia
Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the Moon

Welcome to the realm of quantum physics — a domain so bizarre that even Albert Einstein once called some of its predictions “spooky action at a distance ” Quantum physics is not just strange for the sake of being strange
