At wide-open throttle, the raunchiness doesn’t come in wild quanta but in one smoothly linear, incredibly steep exponential function, with no interval for tactility and feedback.

Photons are "light quanta" that constitute the basic building blocks making up the electromagnetic radiation field.

Quantum theory typically deals with the universe in tiny chunks, or quanta, while general relativity takes the cosmos to be continuous even at the smallest scales.

From Scientific American ● Aug. 19, 2023

Quantum mechanics describes how, in the subatomic realm, everything is broken up in discrete chunks, or quanta, such as the individual particles of light called photons.

Sometimes the light quanta seemed to measure out at three or four meters long; sometimes they appeared to be “just a little bundle of energy,” Beams recalled.
