I studied about quantum confinement for a presentation on Quantum Well, wire and dots and came across a term 'Quantum Confinement', it said quantum confinement leads to discrete in energy level. And confinement occurs when the de-Broglie wavelength matches the dimension of the confined space. The thing I don't understand is how it leads to the discreteness in the energy level which were continuous when the electron (electron-hole pair) was not confined.

                    1How much do you know of quantum theory? It seems like you don't know enough to accept the standard argument for it. – naturallyInconsistent Feb 23 '24 at 09:16

                    @naturallyInconsistent I wouldn't say I know a lot. Please explain if you know. – Udit Chauhan Feb 23 '24 at 09:21
