- quantal response
And, and it, it, it, it leaves me optimistic that we will be able to go beyond ADSCFT and understand how quantal gravity works in, in the real world.
- And, and it, it, it, it leaves me optimistic that we will be able to go beyond ADSCFT and understand how quantal gravity works in, in the real world.
- So, so we got the sense of what quantal field theory is, is that a big leap of, of an idea that particles are fluctuations in the field?
Examples
-
Because of the quantal coarseness of matter, nothing made of it, machine or brain, can process information faster than about 10^47 bits/g/sec.

But there was a problem: The same reasoning that implied a quantal structure for radiation in the Wien regime also implied that, outside that regime, the assumed mutual independence of photons must fail.

A GLM can be used to describe the relationship between the dose and the quantal response at the end of the assay: g(pis) = as + ? log10(di gpiT) = aT + ? log10(di)

The quantal behavior of photons is evident when they are emitted as individual packets of energy.
-
At the atomic level, matter exhibits quantal properties that differ significantly from classical physics.

Etymology
Quantal comes from quantum, which goes back to a Latin root meaning 'how much', and you can see the same root in quantity. In science quantum came to mean a small, separate 'amount', so quantal describes things that happen only in separate steps, not in a smooth way.
