It’s more akin to saying water droplets. Now you can argue that “all water is made up of droplets” but still not every body of water is a bunch of droplets. When people talk about quantum light, they mean something different from just saying light.
You are being pandantic.
- oytis 8y agoIt would be better called 'quantized light' IMO. 'quantum light' sounds like marketing BS.
- dschuetz 8y agoThat's essentially what I meant. Thanks. Quantized light still is like "wet water", but at least it sounds less like some obscure/magical light from the magical world of quanta.
- AmericanChopper 8y agoWell the photon is the quantum of light. I don’t think you’d say ‘quantized computer’, you’d probably say quantum computer, as in relating to quanta.
- oytis 8y agoDon't get your analogy. Photon is a quantum of light. Quantum computer is not a quantum of computing.
