Right, 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.
