Kvantisoituneet
Kvantisoituneet is a Finnish term that translates to "quantized" in English. It refers to a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics where certain physical properties of a system can only exist in discrete, specific values or levels, rather than a continuous range. This is in stark contrast to classical physics, where properties like energy or momentum are assumed to be infinitely divisible.
The idea of quantization emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena that classical physics could
When a system is quantized, its energy, angular momentum, or other observable quantities can only take on
