单词 quantization
释义
quantization

Physics
  • The process of constructing a quantum theory for a system, using the original classical theory as a basis. The starting point for such a process is to write the Lagrangian or Hamiltonian of the classical system. The formulation of the quantum theory for the system can be performed using a formalism, such as matrix mechanics or wave mechanics. The application of these methods leads to the conclusion that energy levels in systems, such as atoms, are discrete (quantized) rather than continuous. Before the discovery of quantum mechanics in the mid 1920s, quantization involved a series of ad hoc postulates for atomic systems, such as the Bohr theory and its extensions.


Computer
  • The process of constructing a discrete representation of a quantity that is usually regarded as continuous (see discrete and continuous systems). For example, the measurement of the amplitude of a signal at discrete intervals of time, when the signal occurs over continuous time, is called time quantization, or sampling; the measurement of the brightness of picture elements (pixels) in a space-continuous picture is called space quantization, or pixelization.

    The term quantization without the predication of time or space usually refers to the quantization of amplitude; the same applies to digitization, which is nearly synonymous with quantization.


Electronics and Electrical Engineering
  • 1. A method of producing a set of discrete or quantized values that represents a continuous quantity. In the case of a voltage waveform, it is divided into a finite number of subranges each of which is represented by an assigned value within the subrange. This technique is used whenever a set of discrete values is required, for example to produce data suitable for a digital computer or in pulse modulation. Some loss of information of the original waveform is inherent in this process, leading to a certain amount of noise, or quantization distortion.

    2. The restriction of an electron’s energy and angular momentum to a discrete set of values in an atom, molecule, or nanodevice.
