21. Quantum
    In physics, a `quantum` (plural: `quanta`) is an indivisible entity of energy. A photon, for instance, being a unit of light, is a `light quantum.` In combinations like `quantum mechanics`, `quantum optics`, etc., it distinguishes a more specialized field of study. The word comes from the Latin `quantus,` for `how much.` Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be `quantized`, referred to as `quantization`. Thi...
