"Quantum speed limit" as is usually used in the field has little to nothing to do with the speed of light. "Finite speed at which information propagates through space or time" appears also in theories that do not know about relativity or about space and time being unified. E.g. the "quantum speed limit" that has more to do with differential equations and control theory (the "boring" engineering field). Otherwise you are right, but the term you used will regretfully cause much confusion if people start googling its usual meaning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_speed_limit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_speed_limit
- liuhenry 5y agoRight, quantum jumps as used here is actually a specific technical term. It seems like the parent comment takes it to be a lay analogy, but it’s from a formulation called quantum trajectory theory [1]. Rather, the result is about the electrons in an atom jumping between energy levels and experimentally observing a continuous evolution.
