| occupation occupancy moving in | the act of occupying or taking possession of a building, occupation of a building without a certificate of occupancy is illegal |
occupancy
tenancy | an act of being a tenant or occupant |
physics lab
physics laboratory | a laboratory for research in physics |
| quantum | (physics) the smallest discrete quantity of some physical property that a system can possess (according to quantum theory) |
| quantum | a discrete amount of something that is analogous to the quantities in quantum theory |
physics
natural philosophy r | the science of matter and energy and their interactions, his favorite subject was physics |
| physics physical science | the physical properties, phenomena, and laws of something, he studied the physics of radiation |
| solar physics | the branch of astronomy that deals with the sun |
nuclear physics
atomic physics
nucleonics | the branch of physics that studies the internal structure of atomic nuclei |
particle physics
high-energy physics
high energy physics | the branch of physics that studies subatomic particles and their interactions |
| plasma physics | the branch of physics concerned with matter in its plasma phase |
| quantum physics | the branch of physics based on quantum theory |
| quantum theory | (physics) a physical theory that certain properties occur only in discrete amounts (quanta) |
| solid-state physics | the branch of physics that studies the properties of materials in the solid state: electrical conduction in crystals of semiconductors and metals, superconductivity, photoconductivity |
| quantum mechanics | the branch of quantum physics that accounts for matter at the atomic level, an extension of statistical mechanics based on quantum theory (especially the Pauli exclusion principle) |
| quantum field theory | the branch of quantum physics that is concerned with the theory of fields, it was motivated by the question of how an atom radiates light as its electrons jump from excited states |
quantum electrodynamics
QED | a relativistic quantum theory of the electromagnetic interactions of photons and electrons and muons |
quantum chromodynamics
QCD | a theory of strong interactions between elementary particles (including the interaction that binds protons and neutrons in the nucleus), it assumes that strongly interacting particles (hadrons) are made of quarks and that gluons bind the quarks together |
quantum leap
quantum jump | a sudden large increase or advance, this may not insure success but it will represent a quantum leap from last summer |
| quantum jump | (physics) an abrupt transition of an electron or atom or molecule from one quantum state to another with the emission or absorption of a quantum |
physics department
department of physics | the academic department responsible for teaching and research in physics |
| occupancy rate | the percentage of all rental units (as in hotels) are occupied or rented at a given time |
| hospital occupancy | occupancy rate for hospitals |
| hotel occupancy | occupancy rate for hotels |
