balulu Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I have two questions What is the minimal quantom of energy in the universe? and How and who established it? Are there theories that predict that a lower level of Quantom might exist and will be discovered/validated in the future?
elfmotat Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Balulu, welcome! Unfortunately, I have no idea what you're talking about. There's no "minimim quantum energy of the universe."
juanrga Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I have two questions What is the minimal quantom of energy in the universe? and How and who established it? Are there theories that predict that a lower level of Quantom might exist and will be discovered/validated in the future? The minimal quantum of energy is zero.
balulu Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 The minimal quantum of energy is zero. The minimal level of energy is a step size of energy. It is the level of energyy needed for a minimal step size in work. Something measurable, so it can't be zero.

Something measurable, so it can't be zero. There is an energy minimum based on the uncertainty principle - is that what you're asking about?
juanrga Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) The minimal level of energy is a step size of energy. It is the level of energyy needed for a minimal step size in work. Something measurable, so it can't be zero. It is [math]\Delta w[/math] when [math]\Delta w \rightarrow 0[/math]. But using standard regularization techniques one can extend it to zero.

swansont Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Energy is quantized in bound-state systems. But the state energy separations approach zero, because there are an infinite number of states. For free systems, energy is a continuum. As juanrga says, the minimum is zero.

swansont Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 I don't understand your question. Flipping a bit is a lot more specific of a scenario than the general question you originally asked.

balulu Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Zero is frequency independent. What has to do a "bit" with a quantum of energy? Look on Levitan and Morgenstein results (recent ones), I probably mispeled their names. Both are from Boston
juanrga Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Look on Levitan and Morgenstein results (recent ones), I probably mispeled their names. Both are from Boston There is a Lev Levitin at Boston University but not Morgenstein nor Morgensten. Couldn't you give a reference or link?
