The state of a quantized system as described by its quantum numbers. For instance, the state of a hydrogen atom is described by the four quantum numbers n, l, ml, ms. In the ground state they have values 1, 0, 0, and ½ respectively.

Chemical Engineering
The state of a system that is characterized by a set of quantum numbers and represented by an eigenfunction. Each state has an energy that has a value, which is precise within the limits imposed by the uncertainty principle but which may be changed by applying a field force.
