Talk:quantum world

RFD discussion: December 2021–January 2022
Seems SOP; the adjective sense of as in a shorthand for quantum physics/mechanics covers it, and it can be easily phrased in a number of other ways, such as quantum realm  which I've just redlinked there as a synonym, as well as quantum universe, all of which are perfectly understandable given the meaning of quantum and none of which is a set phrase anywhere to my knowledge. in the quantum world is akin to saying on the quantum scale (which should not be created either) or at the scales governed by quantum physics; it just obviously conveys a separation of it from the familiar world on our larger scales (or from "classical", i.e. pre-quantum, Newtonian, frameworks of physics, which still dominate on those scales). A handful of other "quantum …" compounds among the many listed at quantum might also be SOP; I'm not sure, as the line gets blurry. I have to wonder if compound field names like, , , , and  are really anything beyond their constituents. I'd never heard of these before today, but I think I was able to guess what they refer to. — 69.120.66.131 08:36, 5 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete as SOP. BTW, I think that quantum here is not really an adjective, but a noun that stands in for in attributive positions – whereas in  itself it has the meaning of a minimal non-zero magnitude of some physical manifestation, such as the energy of a photon.  --Lambiam 11:40, 5 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, it could mean "the world since the introduction of a quantum-physical understanding", or something (like Atomic Age). Equinox ◑ 22:04, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
