Landau quantization is a phenomenon that occurs in quantum mechanics, particularly in the context of charged particles subjected to a strong magnetic field. It was named after the Soviet physicist Lev Landau, who first described it in the 1930s. When a charged particle, such as an electron, moves in a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a quantization of its energy levels due to the Lorentz force acting on it.
