Physics term for a state where multiple quantum states share the same energy level, or a system losing distinctness.
In quantum mechanics, degeneracy of energy levels is an important concept.
degradation; throttling
Computing term for reduced performance of hardware components like CPU or memory, often due to thermal or power limits.
When the CPU temperature rises, throttling occurs automatically and the clock speed drops.
stuck-at fault
Fermi degeneracy; degenerate fermions; Fermi gas; degenerate matter
Compound of 縮 (shrink, reduce) and 退 (retreat, recede), literally 'shrink and retreat'. The exact historical derivation is uncertain; the term is used in modern technical contexts.
