Quantum

[Elyssa Smith 4B]

What does it mean for variables to be 'quantized' or 'discrete'?

[Alexis Webb 2B]

I think it means that they must be whole numbers like 1,2,3,4 not 1.2 or 2.4. They cannot be continuous.

[Alexis Webb 2B]

Actually, it means they are specific numbers not continuous.

[Chetas Holagunda 3H]

They have to be in integer values like n=1,2,3 and it means that it is the smallest transferrable unit I think.

[AArmellini_1I]

It's like Lavelle described in lecture, we assume water flowing from a facet in continuous but when we zoom in and reduce the flow, eventually gaps begin to form because you're not going to have half a water molecule so to be quantized refers to minimal whole values (n = 1,2,3...)
