Infinitely small does not exist

Dirac's constant is the smallest unit of information. It is a quantum of angular momentum, with the value

 


Explanation

In quantuminformatics, you work with qubits. A qubit can be represented with a linear combination of two quantum states as

|ψ⟩ = α |0⟩ + β |1⟩

where α and β are complex probability amplitudes.

 


History

The constant is named after the British quantum physicist Paul Dirac (1902 - 1984).
