Quantization is the procedure of constraining something from a continuous set of values (such as the real numbers) to a discrete set (such as the integers). In Mathematics, the real numbers may be described informally in several different ways The integers (from the Latin integer, literally "untouched" hence "whole" the word entire comes from the same origin but via French Quantization in specific domains is discussed in:
In Digital signal processing, quantization is the process of approximating a continuous range of values (or a very large set of possible discrete values by a relatively-small Quantization, involved in Image processing, is a Lossy compression technique achieved by compressing a range of values to a single quantum value In Signal processing, quantization is the process of approximating a continuous range of values (or a very large set of possible discrete values by a relatively-small set of Time quantization In Digital Music processing technology quantization is the process of aligning a set of musical notes to a precise setting In Physics, quantization is a procedure for constructing a Quantum field theory starting from a classical field theory. In Physics, canonical quantization is one of many procedures for quantizing a Classical theory. In Quantum mechanics, spatial quantization is the Quantization of Angular momentum in three-dimensional space In Linguistics, a quantized expression is such that whenever it is true of some entity it is not true of any proper subparts of that entity
