But now they're vibrating in a solid lattice, right?
- But now they're vibrating in a solid lattice, right?
- It had some some nice properties related to things about how the electrons move inside the lattice.
- So you might quantize A lattice, but the quantum theory, the wave functions themselves, still live in a continuum.
- But since all these electrons are stuck in bonds, few ever get enough energy to escape their bonds and travel through the lattice.
- Well, the inspiration for what this might be a theory of came from something called lattice quantum chromo dynamics.
- So for example, we can increase muscle size and actually reduce strength because of what's called lattice spacing.

Etymology
A helpful way to remember the second meaning of lattice is to think of that same crossed frame turned into a regular 'grid' of points, which scientists and mathematicians use as a picture of order. So a lattice in math or physics is a neat, repeating pattern like the bars of a lattice window.
