WHAT DOES QUANTAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Quantum

In physics, a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized," referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization". This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete values. A photon is a single quantum of light, and is referred to as a "light quantum". The energy of an electron bound to an atom is quantized, which results in the stability of atoms, and hence of matter in general. As incorporated into the theory of quantum mechanics, this is regarded by physicists as part of the fundamental framework for understanding and describing nature at the smallest length-scales.

Definition of quantal in the English dictionary

The definition of quantal in the dictionary is of or relating to a quantum or an entity that is quantized. Other definition of quantal is denoting something that is capable of existing in only one of two states.
