Καινοτομία

Quantization (the act or process of dividing) is the process of constraining an input from a continuous or otherwise-large set of values to a discrete set. The discovery of quantized quantities has often been associated with a revolution in our understanding of the laws of nature. EU-supported researchers have now predicted a novel form of quantization law.

From Pythagoras’ work on harmonics to the identification of the Balmer series in atomic physics, the quantization of physical observables plays a central role in our understanding and appreciation of the world around us.
