What Exactly is the Meaning of QUANTUM?


With the Official Release of the Trailer of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, A lot of us is asking What is Quantum really mean?
A quantum (plural quanta) is the smallest quantity of any physical entity (physical attribute) engaged in an interaction in physics. The underlying idea that a physical property may be "quantized" is known as "the hypothesis of quantization." This means that the magnitude of the physical characteristic can only take on discrete values that are integer multiples of one quantum.

A photon, for example, is a single quantum of light (or of any other form of electromagnetic radiation). Similarly, the energy of a bonded electron within an atom is quantized and can only exist in discrete quantities. (Atoms and matter in general are stable because electrons can only exist at discrete energy levels within an atom.) Quantization is one of the pillars of quantum mechanics. The quantization of energy and its impact on how energy and matter interact (quantum electrodynamics) is a basic foundation for understanding and describing nature.

The word quantum is derived from the Latin interrogative adjective quantus, which means "how much?" "Quanta," the neuter plural for "quanta of electricity" (electrons), was first used in a 1902 paper on the photoelectric effect by Philipp Lenard, who attributed Hermann von Helmholtz for coining the term. However, the term quantum in general was well recognized before to 1900; for example, quantum was used in E.A. Poe's poem "Loss of Breath." It was often employed by physicians, as in the word quantum satis, which means "the amount that is sufficient." Helmholtz and Julius von Mayer were both physicians and scientists. In his essay on Mayer's work, Helmholtz used the word quantum in regard to heat, and the word quantum may be found in Mayer's statement of the first law of thermodynamics in his letter dated July 24, 1841.

In 1901, Max Planck defined quanta as "quanta of matter and electricity,"[5] gas, and heat.[6] In response to Planck's work and the experimental work of Lenard (who explained his results using the term quanta of electricity), Albert Einstein proposed that radiation existed in spatially localized packets that he called "quanta of light" in 1905. ("Lichtquanta").

Max Planck created the notion of radiation quantization in 1900 while researching the emission of radiation from heated materials, known as black-body radiation. Planck accounted for certain things changing color when heated by believing that energy can only be absorbed or released in tiny, distinct, discrete packets (which he dubbed "bundles" or "energy elements"). Planck presented his findings to the German Physical Society on December 14, 1900, and for the first time established the concept of quantization as part of his study on black-body radiation. As a result of his studies, Planck derived the numerical value of h, known as the Planck constant, and presented to the German Physical Society more exact values for the unit of electrical charge and the Avogadro-Loschmidt number, the number of actual molecules in a mole. Planck was given the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 when his hypothesis was proven.

The Quantum Realm is a merger of two separate comic-book realms: the Quantum Zone, where all of the universe's energy originates, and the Microverse, which comprises of many other sub-atomic dimensions all accessible via the same ways as they are in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Microverse was also the home of the heroic team Micronauts. Wasp was likewise stranded in the Microverse following her alleged death in Secret Invasion until Hank Pym discovered her.

The word "Microverse" cannot be used by Marvel Studios since it is associated with the Micronauts film rights held by Paramount Pictures. Dr. Spyridon Michalakis, Ant-scientific Man's consultant, came up with the new name.

The Quantum Realm in Ant-Man is inspired on the classic Disneyland ride Adventure Thru Inner Space.
