kvantoitujen

Kvantoitujen is a Finnish grammatical form used in technical language to denote quantities that have undergone quantization. It is the genitive plural form of the past participle adjective kvantoitunut, which is formed from the verb kvantittaa (to quantize). In Finnish, such participial adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify; kvantoitujen appears when the modified noun is plural and in the genitive case, as in kvantoitujen arvojen mittaus. The term itself is not a standalone scientific concept but a grammatical tool used in descriptions of quantized data.

In practice, quantization replaces a continuous range with a finite set of levels. Finnish texts may use kvantoitunut or kvantoitujen as needed to describe results, such as kvantoitujen arvojen jakauma (distribution of quantized values) or kvantoitujen mittausten epävarmuus (uncertainty of quantized measurements). The form helps articulate which values have been subjected to quantization and how they relate to surrounding nouns in sentences.

Etymology and related terms: The root is kvant- from kvantti (quantum). Related terms include kvantitointi or kvantisaatio for the process of quantization and kvantti for the quantum. In Finnish scientific and engineering writing, kvantoitujen arvojen käsittely and similar phrases appear frequently when discussing discrete representations of continuous quantities and their implications for analysis, measurement, and signal processing.
