The word quantum is Latin and means “how great” or “how much.” Now in quantum mechanics, it refers to a discrete (specific) unit (measurement) that quantum theory assigns to certain quantities, such as the energy of an atom at rest.
The field of quantum mechanics came about due to the discovery that waves have discrete energy packets (called quanta) that can behave in a manner similar to particles. In other words, depending on the constitution of a waves energy packets, it can act or represent itself in different ways.
Taking this one step further, a “quantum state” refers to any one of the possible states that a whole system can take on based on the combination of different variables in the system. The number of variables that are achievable are a direct function of the differences in the value of those variables used to define the states.
