Quantization Error - Other Fields

Other Fields

Many physical quantities are actually quantized by physical entities. Examples of fields where this limitation applies include electronics (due to electrons), optics (due to photons), biology (due to DNA), and chemistry (due to molecules). This is sometimes known as the "quantum noise limit" of systems in those fields. This is a different manifestation of "quantization error," in which theoretical models may be analog but physically occurs digitally. Around the quantum limit, the distinction between analog and digital quantities vanishes.

Famous quotes containing the word fields:

    The hunt is up, the morn is bright and grey,
    The fields are fragrant and the woods are green.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Luxurious Man, to bring his Vice in use,
